St Mary's is open for private prayer everyday from 9.30 am to 5.30pm, except when there is a service or event in the Church.
A service of Holy Communion which usually includes a sermon and four hymns. The term "Sung" means that, in addition to the hymns, some parts of the service are sung by the congregation. The words and music are in the service booklet and are easy to sing!
Evensong is a service that’s traditionally held - as the name suggests - in the evening, marking the passing of another day in faith. It’s fairly short, usually around 40 minutes, and features choral music, readings and prayers.

This is a shorter (said) version of a Eucharist service, without the hymns or a sermon.
St Mary's has an enthusiastic robed choir who lead the congregation in worship, accompanied by the organ.
They also perform anthems for special services, and are particularly busy over Easter and Christmas, with both Advent and Christmas carol services.
Choir practice is in St Mary's Church on Wednesdays at 7:00pm. Newcomers, ideally with a basic ability to read music, are always welcome.

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. A relaxed service, ideal for families with babies, toddlers or older children.
Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
The orange represents the world
The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
A service of Holy Communion for Christmas Day.
