Worship times
In this Church of England Parish, we believe the Eucharist or Holy Communion to be the Family Service of the Church and therefore welcome people of all ages. We aim to celebrate the Liturgy of the Church reverently and with noble simplicity. Everyone is welcomed at the altar at the distribution of Holy Communion – those who have not been prepared to receive Holy Communion or have not been Confirmed keep their heads bowed to indicate that they are not receiving the Blessed Sacrament, and the priest blesses them. We use Common Worship liturgy.
Please check the Sunday sheet, outdoor noticeboards and the events page on the website for up to date times and venues of worship, as these may change on a weekly basis, depending on availability of a priest. Usual times are as follows:
SUNDAYS
9:30 am Parish Eucharist – at St Mary & St Giles
A Holy Communion service at which the whole family can celebrate with ‘Young Christians’ having their own ‘Liturgy of the Word’ in the adjoining Parish Hall during the first part of the service, and then re-joining everyone else at the Offertory. The Parish Eucharist is followed by tea, coffee and squash.
11:15am Parish Eucharist – at All Saints
A Holy Communion service for all ages, but which might suit families who cannot make 9:30am. The service lasts about 40 minutes and is followed by tea, coffee and squash.
WEEKDAYS
Thursday
10:30am Holy Communion – at All Saints
Followed by ‘Elevenses’
