From July the Family service will be renamed All Age Communion. This means the service will be Eucharistic in nature and the name reflects the more modern trend within the national church of inclusion for all, not just those with families. There will be no evening services on the first and third Sunday of the month. Choral Evensong will be moved from the third Sunday to the second Sunday of the month and we will have an additional Choral Evensong on a Fifth Sunday.
