Holy Communion

Sunday at 9 a.m.

Main weekly Sunday service – Everyone welcome

 

Our regular Communion service begins at 9am and lasts about an hour. It follows a standard Church of England format with hymn singing, prayers and readings and then the sharing of Communion bread and wine. There is a time of teaching, usually based on one of the readings and how the bible reading can make a difference in our lives today.

Members of the congregation take part in the worship by leading intercessions, reading from scripture and administering the chalice during communion.

Music is provided by a full organ in Church and hymns are from Hymns Old and New with the inclusion of songs from a modern collection, sometimes accompanied by guitar.

We are keen to welcome parents with children and there is a small area at the rear of the church providing space for them and enjoy time during the service. Parents are expected to supervise their own children.

Here’s a prayer you can pray daily:

Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
