At our mid-week Communion, we use the contemporary-language form of service found in Common Worship. This is a 'said' service, without music or hymns. Refreshments are served after the service, in the church hall.

We have joined the Warm Welcome Space campaign to help create a nation-wide network of warm and welcoming spaces in our community as a way to address social isolation. The church hall will be open 10.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays (hopefully also adding Wednesdays soon). Refreshments and a range of activities on offer. Come along, join in, make friends.

At our 8.00 a.m. Holy Communion, we use the traditional-language form of service found in the Book of Common Prayer. This is a 'said' service, with no music or hymns.

At our 10.30 a.m. service, lasting about an-hour-and-a-quarter, we use the contemporary-language form of services found in Common Worship. This is the service with the largest congregation. On the first, third, and fourth Sunday of the month this is a service of Holy Communion (also known as the Eucharist, Breaking of Bread, or Mass). On the second and fifth Sundays, our service is one of Morning Prayer (Communion is still available on these Sundays, at 8.00 a.m. only). We sing hymns, hear a sermon and think about how we might respond, and pray for our parish and the world. At present there are no children's groups, but children of all ages are welcomed. Refreshments are served after the service, in the church hall.

Messy Church at St Nicholas takes place once a month (as advertised, usually on the third or fourth Sunday afternoon) 3.00 p.m. - 5.00 p.m.
Messy Church is for everyone, but in particular for families of Primary school-aged children. We enjoy crafts and activities relating to a story from the Bible, have fun together, pray together, and end with sharing a picnic.

Join us in praying for the parish, Tuesday mornings, 7.30 a.m. - 8.00 a.m.
