DESCRIPTION:Sunday Holy Communion (said) On the first Sunday of the month, the usual pattern of worship is a said Holy Communion service at 9.00, followed by a Family service at 10.30. The family service is usually NOT a communion service. Please check our parish website for more details Every first Sunday at 9:00 AM for ¾ hour Family Worship On the first Sunday of each month there is a more informal setting for our Family Service when the sermon is interactive and the children offer the prayers and readings. On particular Sundays we are pleased to include Holy Baptism within the main service, or this can be a held at another time by arrangement with the Vicar. This service is normally not a Eucharist; on the first Sunday of the month there is normally a Holy Communion service at 9.00am. There will be a Family Communion Service on the third Sunday of the month. Every first Sunday at 10:30 AM for 1 hour Parish Communion We welcome everyone to share in this weekly Holy Communion Service with its mixture of both traditional and more modern hymns. During termtime there may be some special Junior Church activities offered during this service, but there is a permanent children's relaxation corner within the church for younger ones to enjoy playing or reading in sight of their parents or carers.
