Sunderland Minster

This is a Communion service, held during the lunch-hour with those who work in the city-centre in mind but open to all. Expect a short homily (thought for the day) and no music or singing.

Our weekly Sunday morning Communion service takes the form of a Sung Eucharist. We seek to hold together the best of Anglican tradition with a relaxed and welcoming approach. Many different nationalities are represented among our worshipping community. At present there is no Sunday School, but children's activities/material is provided, to help parents and children together to engage with the Bible and the Church year.

This informal service runs throughout most of the year, but takes a break in August. We begin, together, for singing and to hear the Bible (often presented in dramatic form) before choosing from a range of activities - quiet reflection, craft, Bible study in English or in Farsi. We then come back together, to share what we have done and learned, and some weeks we end with eating a simple lunch together.

Sung Evensong, from the Book of Common Prayer, is one of the gems of traditional Anglican worship. Led by the choir, the rest of the congregation join in hymns, in singing the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, and in the chanted responses; and listen to readings from the Bible, a sung Psalm and Anthem, and a short sermon.
