An uplifting service from the Book of Common Prayer with a short sermon and a robed choir singing hymns and anthems.

Every weekday morning a small group gathers in the St Catherine's chapel for morning prayer. This quiet service includes the readings and psalms set for the day, as well as space for silent reflection and prayer before the busyness of the day begins. It lasts approximately 25 minutes.

We are creating a poppy installation which will flow from the top to the bottom of the bell tower and we need thousands of knitted, felted or crocheted poppies to complete the poppy net.

Fresh coffee, tea and homemade biscuits are provided. Come and meet us in the church - everyone is welcome!

Come along and join us on the 1st Thursday of the month after the 10.30am midweek Holy Communion service. We are a friendly group and non-members are welcome. Refreshments are provided.
