Morning Prayer is a non-eucharistic service which can follow a diverse range of formats, from quite formal liturgy to services with themes that engage us in different ways. For example we had a Morning Prayer service on modern slavery. We started to offer Morning Prayer a few years ago and, so far, the format has included hymns, songs and/or sung psalm, using easy-to-follow music.
