On Sundays we normally have a said Communion Service at 8.00am which lasts about 45 minutes.
Our next Sunday service is at 10am. On the first Sunday of the month, this is an All-age service
for about 1hr 15 mins with songs and hymns. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays, this is a Holy Communion
service with hymns and a choir anthem. On the 3rd Sundays, we have a more informal, devotional
and contemporary Holy Communion service with songs and hymns.
Our final service on Sundays is at 6:30pm and takes a variety of formats, either led by the
choir with a Choral evensong, or Healing services, Prayer & Praise, Taizé or Iona-style services.
These usually last for about 1hr.
From Mondays to Saturday we hold a morning prayer service at 9.00am. On Wednesdays, there is
a 1662 Prayer Book said service of Holy Communion at 10.30am which lasts 45 minutes; except
on the last Wednesday of each month when the 10.30am service is the 1662 said service of
Prayer Book Matins / Morning Prayer.
Our sister church is St Mary’s in Commonweal Road. Worship there is held each Sunday at 9am
and varies between Holy Communion and Morning Prayer. On the fourth Sunday, it is a more informal
