A traditional service of well-known Carols and Readings.
Our services follow a varied pattern. On the 1st Sunday at 11.00 am Morning Prayer (Book of Common Prayer) in church. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the month, we will be holding either Morning Prayer or Holy Communion services and, on the 3rd Sunday, Cafe Church, as we gather as a church family round tables in the Octagon Hall to worship together and think about some of the issues of our time.
When there is a 5th Sunday, we usually join with other churches in our benefice (group) to worship, the venue being announced separately each time.
The church is part of the 5folds benefice and our services are led by various ministers (male and female, ordained and lay) who form our benefice Ministry Team. Our music is largely of a more contemporary nature but we do still make good use of traditional hymnody.
We aim to be an inclusive and welcoming church. There are two steps down into the church from the porch but there is also access for wheelchairs to the rear of the property via the access door to the church hall. A gentle ramp then leads into the church building.
A chance for everyone to gather on Christmas Eve and take time to think about the Christmas story. A family-friendly service.
A service to celebrate Christmas Day, with carols, readings and Holy Communion. Led by our Team Rector, the Revd Stephen Dove. Fr Ed Green (Team Vicar) will preach.
Since 1662 the Book of Common Prayer ("BCP") has been used in our church though replaced in the 21st century by more modern forms of worship. On the 1st Sunday in the month, at 11.00 am, we are offering Morning Prayer using the BCP, along with traditional hymns and a sermon. If you used to worship this way or you'd like to find out more about what it means, do come along and give it a try! We hope to be able to offer refreshments after the service most Sundays.
(Please note that there will be no formal provision for children at this service though the children's corner will be available. We encourage families to consider attending our new 4.00 pm service on the 1st Sunday in each month.)
A monthly cafe for those with memory loss and their carer(s). Refreshments are served and there is usually some kind of entertainment and community singing for those who wish to join in. A warm and welcoming group that meets free of charge in the Octagon Hall behind the main church building. Drop in as you can.
