Sung Eucharist in church also streamed on YouTube
High Street West
Sunderland
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.
FEAST
High Street West
Sunderland
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.
Weekly but takes a break in August
Sung Evensong

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.
