A reflective, said service following the Church of England's traditional pattern, in contemporary language. A short talk is normally included in this service.

This is our main Sunday worship service. It may be a Service of the Word, or Holy Communion - please refer to our website Calendar page for the latest details.

Often a reflective service of Holy Communion in contemporary language, gathered around the Lord's Table in the nave of our beautiful church. We sometimes hold alternative services for special occasions, or simply to vary our worship. We meet together afterwards in the Church Cottage next door for coffee.

We will start at 7.30pm, the better to accommodate those involved with family meals.

We come together in Riding Mill to listen, to pray and to sing reflectively, in the Taizé Community style.
The community in France includes people and traditions from around the world, with an emphasis on youth. The music and prayers are sung in many languages, and include chants from the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions. The music emphasizes simple phrases, usually lines from Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and sometimes also sung in canon. You can find out more about the ecumenical Taizé community and their style of worship at www.taize.fr/en.
Come early to help set up the candles...
