Evening services of prayer and reflection, Monday-Thursday of Holy Week (Thursday is an agape meal, readings and prayers and a frugal meal followed by the Keeping of the Watch)

Ipswich, St Francis

Welcome to St Francis! We are a small friendly Church at the heart of Chantry, who love God and love our community. We are all quite different in what we like when it comes to style of worship and we work hard to make sure everyone can connect with God in their own way, so our services are a mixture of modern worship songs, hymns and children's action songs! Sometimes the priest wears robes, sometimes they don't. Sometimes we have a traditional service, sometimes we sit around tables with cups of tea and coffee and chat about a Bible story and have prayer activities. Do have a look at our service rota to see what's happening. You're very welcome to join in with as much or as little as you like! We'd love to meet you; please do drop in and say hi!
