The Eucharist is the heart of our life at St Mary's. Our worship is enriched by good music, colour and ceremonial, with a sermon that is reflective and relevant. Christians of all denominations are welcome to receive holy communion. During the Eucharist our large and thriving Sunday School meets (term-time only). The children join the congregation either at the Peace or in time for communion. Several times a year we celebrate an All-age Eucharist at 10.30 to bring the whole parish family together. After the service, which lasts an hour and ten minutes, there is an opportunity to meet and talk over coffee.
