Our services in our churches continue as normal, however, we recognise that through ill health, frailty, or infirmity, not everyone is able to join us every week. Therefore, if you are unable to attend in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, as he celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

This week we remember St Matthew the Apostle, as well as continuing our journey through the season of "Ordinary Time".

The readings for today are Proverbs 3:13-18, 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, and Matthew 9:91-3.

The hymns for today are, "How deep the Father's love for us", and, "Father, hear the prayer we offer".

A service booklet to accompany this service is also available to download below or please email [email protected] for a copy.

Join us for our regular service of Holy Communion.

We celebrate Shannon-Marie & Jacob joining together before God as they begin a lifelong journey of love together.

We continue our journey through the season of "Ordinary Time", but there is nothing ordinary about this period of the Churches year. It is called this simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word 'ordinalis', refers to numbers in series, from which we get the English word 'order'.

The numbered weeks represent the ordered life of the Church - a period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons), nor in reflection or penance (as in the seasons of Advent and Lent), instead the Church focuses on growth and renewal, and looks forward in expectation of of the second coming of Christ.

Our services in our churches continue as normal, however, we recognise that through ill health, frailty, or infirmity, not everyone is able to join us every week. Therefore, if you are unable to attend in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, from your own home, as he celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Amos 6:1a, 4-7, 1 Timothy 6:6-19, and Luke 16:19-31.

The hymns for today are, "And can it be", and, "Forgive our sins as we forgive".
