Jan 6th sees our special candlelit Epiphany Service at 3.30pm
--------------
From 13th Jan we'll normally have TWO services each Sunday.
* 10.30am: We’re drawing on the rich poetic and liturgical traditions of the ancient denominations to offer quiet and reflective worship, alternating morning prayer and communion.You can get a feel for what the service will be like by downloading the order of service (it prints doublesided, trifold). We'll be exploring the same bible readings as churches around the world as we unpack Epiphany.
* 3.30 pm — 5 pm: The Sunday Afternoon Gatherings continue to be full of multisensory and interactive options designed for adults and children alike. But its not just for those who like to get their hands dirty! We also have poetry, prayers and stories and space for you to stop and be. We celebrate communion once a month. Weather permitting, we’ll increasingly head outside as summer approaches. From 20th January we'll be picking up on the various intergenerational Ely Diocesan Way of Life resources which offers a series of daily text messages, accessible media and six interactive gatherings, that invite us deeper in a daily conversation with God.
[updated] Communion will be celebrated in the afternoon on Jan 13th, and in the morning on Jan 20th, but in rather different ways. The morning service will be in a more traditional style, while the afternoon will use some simple sign-assisted English to allow everyone to join in, passing bread and wine around the table.
----------------------------
Over the school HALF TERM holiday, we're going to have just one service each weekend so
* 17th Feb - 10.30am morning worship ONLY (no afternoon gathering)
