Holy Communion in Traditional Language

Monthly. Every Second Sunday at for 45 mins
St John the Baptist, Cockayne Hatley
Cockayne Hatley near Sandy Bedfordshire, SG19 2EA, United Kingdom

On the second Sunday we have a service of Holy Communion. This is also sometimes called a Eucharist. Here we share bread and wine to both remember Jesus’s saving actions and in a deep and mysterious way be attached to him as well as connected to each other. The service includes readings from the Bible, times of prayer, a reflection or sermon. Its done in traditional language and it is in fact an older form of service first developed in the 16th century called the Book of Common Prayer. People value it for its connection to our past and particularly for its beautiful language. We love this service with its reverence and holiness, but also as an opportunity to be together with God.

The next service of Holy Communion will be on Sunday 13 July 2025 at 9 am.

Evening Prayer in Traditional Language

Monthly. Every Fourth Sunday at for 45 mins
St John the Baptist, Cockayne Hatley
Cockayne Hatley near Sandy Bedfordshire, SG19 2EA, United Kingdom

This service is much loved in the Church of England. It’s a service that began its development in the 16th century but actually has ties to much earlier forms of worship in monasteries. It uses traditional language and through its regular rhythm is a time of prayer and reflection.

The next service of Evening Prayer will be on Sunday 27 July 2025 at 4 pm.
