Monthly - Every Second Sunday at 9.00 am for a Service of Morning Prayer, led by Geoff Radley our Authorised Lay Minister.

We sing well-known hymns and always offer refreshments afterwards.

We are treated to an additional musical piece played on the organ by our regular organist Keith Fowley!

Christians have worshipped in the churches in our group for more than 900 years and we extend a warm welcome to you.

From earliest times, Christians gathered at regular hours during each day and night to respond to God’s word with praise on behalf of all creation and with intercession for the salvation of the world.

By the fourth century, if not earlier, morning and evening had emerged as the pre-eminent hours for the offering of this sacrifice of praise. They have remained so ever since, especially on Sundays when the Church commemorates both the first day of creation and the day of Christ’s resurrection.

This order is intended to help Christians of our own day take their part in this privilege and duty which belongs to all God’s priestly people.

The officiant, usually Geoff Radley our Lay Minister will introduce the service and lead us to help us worship our Lord.

In addition, on Sundays, there will always be a service of Holy Communion at one of the churches in our group.

Your responses are marked in bold.

It is good to get ourselves ready to pray by prefacing all of our prayers with an invocation to the Spirit of God to help us pray, and to pray in us and for us, using the following:

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
