Our Services

Everyone is different. Each of us has our own unique relationship with God. We seek to reflect this by offering worship in a variety of styles, and hope that you will find something that helps you connect. Each of these has a purpose and direction.

Holy Communion

The Communion Service from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP). This is the source for Anglican belief and practice, and keeps us in touch with our roots. It lasts for approximately 40 minutes. A quiet way to start the day. On the first Sunday of the month, we are invited into the Hall afterwards for Breakfast.

Family Service

Been up since 6am (or earlier!)? Worried that your children will not sit still through a church service? This is the service for you. We are a lively and growing Congregation, genuinely of all ages, where you will receive a warm welcome. The singing is bright, the talks are short, and we have fun meeting with God and each other. Afterwards we share good coffee, tea, squash, biscuits and chat, while the younger children go through to the Hall for a short story and colouring time, and the older children have Sunday Club. The actual service lasts for 30 minutes, and most people find they are leaving by about 10.15am.

Morning Worship

On the first Sunday of each month at 10.30am, a service that concentrates on the Word, giving an opportunity to explore an issue or topic in slightly more depth. The service is not informal, but there is room within the format to experiment or adjust what we do, as best fits the subject or occasion.

Parish Communion

A service of Holy Communion based on Common Worship, and led by our choir. Join a diverse group of people sharing in a journey to encounter God. The service will usually last for 70 minutes, and is followed by refreshments.

Liquid Worship

This is a service using insights from a movement called “Liquid Church”. It is designed to be open to all. We hope that no-one will feel excluded because of their age, gender, or physical ability. Within the service, we can choose from a variety of different activities, any of which have the potential to help us to a fresh encounter with God. After that, we receive communion together at the front, so that no-one has to climb any steps.

What is Liquid Worship?

It is a flexible form of worship in which individuals are free to combine the different elements of worship into their own preferred journey.

What do I have to do?

We all gather at the start of the service for our opening praise, and then move to different worship zones as we wish. You decide which zones to visit and how long to stay.

Why are we doing this?

Here are four reasons:

• It will help us to be a ‘missionary church’, sharing the Good News with those who find ‘Traditional Church’ difficult
• Liquid Worship helps people who have different preferences to be catered for at the same time. As a worshipping community we can each find ways of encountering God that are right for us
• It breaks away from the model that says ‘one size fits all’ and gives individuals the freedom to worship as God’s Spirit leads them
• It provides a service where families can worship together, rather than being split off into different age streams, and where they can receive Communion together
