At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.
At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.
We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.
We love to welcome anyone to our Sunday services so please do come along!
In every parish we hold an APCM each year between 1st January and 31st May where we review the activities in the parish over the last 12 months, highlight any changes to the electoral roll and review the accounts.
Its a great opportunity to come together to reflect on what we have achived in our community and to also look to the next 12 months
This is an all age, family friendly free event focused on having fun and creating time for us to come together and hear the stories of Jesus, plus other bible stories, and growing as a community. No need to book, just turn up!
We will do crafting, singing, listen to a story and then eat some yummy food together, what could be better on a Sunday afternoon.
Please be aware that our sessions in January, February, October and November will be held at the High Wych Memorial Hall. From March-August we will be in the church and remember, this is a free event so we look forward to welcoming you!
This is an opportunity for us to come together at the start of the week, before things get too busy, to find time to help invite the Holy Spirit into our heart and minds for the week ahead.

The Great Get Together is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that connects our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.
This year’s Great Get Together in High Wych will take place on Saturday 20th June and will mark 10 years since Jo was killed.
Many of us remember how, in the days that followed Jo’s murder, people responded not with fear, but with something Jo believed in deeply: connection. Neighbours came together. Differences were set aside. Communities chose unity over division.
This anniversary is not just about remembrance. It is a moment of choice. Holding a Great Get Together in your local area is a simple but powerful way to honour Jo’s legacy and show what community really means.
Rev Alison is taking a well deserved holiday so if you need anything during this time, please contact your Church Wardens
