A service for all ages to be truly church together from the smallest child to the oldest adult! It includes songs and prayers suitable for everyone, and for the middle section (about 20 minutes) we move into Explore Zones around the church to respond to the Bible passage for the day. The zones are very varied, so that there is something for everyone to enjoy and take part in. They normally include all of these:

· Listen Zone - listening to a talk on the passage

· Quiet Zone - reflecting on the passage by yourself

· Busy Zone - e.g. making a model while you chat with others

· Colour Zone - e.g. drawing or colouring a picture while you chat with others

· Chat Zone - a short Bible study on the passage, led by a member of the church

A standard Church of England communion service using modern language liturgy, with hymns played on the organ and a sermon. Followed by refreshments. This takes place only on the first Sunday of each month at St Mary's and is the only communion service for that day. There is no service at St Paul's on that morning and there is no special provision for children during the service. If you have children, you may like to try Messy Church during the afternoon, from 3 - 4.30 pm.

A quiet service using the traditional words of the Book of Common Prayer, without music but including a short talk.
