The Gospel reading is followed by the Sermon. Then we stand to say the Creed then sit or kneel for the Prayers of Intercession, then we stand to offer one another the peace with other members of the congregation.  The priest will say which Prayer to follow, which is sung, the Communion table is prepared and the congregation is invited to come to the altar to receive the communion or a prayer of blessing;  the priest hands out the wafers while the server offers the chalice with the wine.  The congregation sings hymns during this time.  Notices are then given out. The final hymn is sung and then refreshments are served in the hall.
