Our Services
We have a number of different services which happen regularly across our five churches in the Benefice:
-
Holy Communion (BCP) – Book of Common Prayer (1662) – a formal communion service from the Old Prayer book in ‘traditional language’ with hymns (about 50 minutes to an hour)
-
Holy Communion – Common Worship – Still fairly formal, but in modern language with hymns (about 50 minutes to an hour)
-
Weekday Communion Service – Based on Common Worship but less formal – the Clergy will not robe, and the exploration of the bible readings may well be interactive with some lead discussions and perhaps activities. Approximately 25 minutes.
-
Morning Prayer – usually a common worship service of the word and may include hymns or worship songs. Approximately 45 minutes.
-
Mattins – a traditional service of Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer (1662), usually lead by one of our lay ministers. Approximatley 45 minutes.
-
Family Services - structured but informal services. See separate page
During the year there will be other types of services for our festivals, such as Easter, Christmas and Remembrance, Harvest and Rogation, together with services at which healing is offered.
We also carry out Weddings, Funerals and Baptisms, and are happy to help you celebrate or remember other events.
