We have vacancies in our church choir for sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. You may already sing in a choir,  but if you like singing hymns and other sacred music you might like to join our church choir as well. 

Our Sunday services start at 10 am.  We sing lots of favourite traditional hymns and some of the well established modern worship songs too.  We have a sung setting for the Gloria, Sanctus, etc. We use three settings, and if there are sufficient in the choir, we sometimes sing a short anthem too. 

An ability to read music is not essential, though, if you read a little, it helps with learning new hymns and pieces. 

We have choir practice on Sunday mornings, before the 10 am Eucharist.  We meet in church at 9.30 am and robe in cassock and surplice. Be part of something special to enhance our worship.  You would be very welcome. I look forward to hearing from you. Gary Owen, ARCO, LLCM, LTCL Organist & Choirmaster

We welcome you to join us for our Sunday Morning at the new start time of 10am! It's a service of Sung Eucharist i.e. Holy Communion to a sung setting with hymns, readings and prayers. Afterwards you are invited to join us in the Moorside Memorial Hall for coffee and conversation.

You are very welcome to join us in Holy Rood Memorial Hall every Wednesday from 10am until 11:30am for an informal get together for coffee and chat. At our coffee morning we have toast, crumpets, croissants, brioche and more along with ground coffee or a hot cup of tea!

We invite you to join us for this special service when we remember our departed loved ones with an opportunity to light a candle for them ~ to reflect on their lives and the hope that shines through them into our lives.
A chance to remember those we have lost; listening to comforting words, praying for family members and those we have loved but no longer see.

If you would like us to read out the name and light a candle for a departed member of your family then do let us know via the "Get In Touch" page on this website.

Light refreshments will be served in the Hall after the service.

Please join us for our annual Act Of Remembrance on Sunday, 9th November starting in church at 9:45am which will culminate in gathering around the War Memorial at 11:00 am for the national two minute silence.

We meet by candlelight in the Lady Chapel at 6:45pm for a 7pm start on some Friday evenings. It's a time of contemplative prayer; simply spending time in God's presence as we all round off a busy week ~ it will be lovely to have you with us!
