FOR ALL STAGES OF THE JOURNEY AND ALL AGES OF LIFE. Sunday School, Contemporary Music.
This service, at a slightly earlier time than usual and is designed to be more accessible to families as well as other demographics in our villages. Whilst this is designed to be more engaging and informative to younger demographics and newcomers to church, it is no less deep and will have plenty to keep the longstanding church member fed.
Come along and join us.

An opportunity to meet Christ in this most Holy Sacrament - a top-up, if you will, in the middle of the week.
This simple, yet profoundly holy service, will enrich you and enable you to refocus in the middle of a busy week. Join us! It lasts just 30 minutes.

This rich and deeply enriching service is currently available live online via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/boxriverbenefice
This service, sometimes also called Mass or Holy Communion, is the staple bedrock of the church. It is deeply evocative, and draws all present into the sublime mystery of the Lord's Supper. We explore scripture, pray and are caught up in the power of the ritual together, as one body. As we gather around God's Table and hear Christ's words to 'Do this is remembrance of me', we are drawn into a mystery of timeless truth and united with each other in a deeply spiritual way. As we kneel before the Holy Altar we do so with others of all ages, social situations, races, sexualities and nationalities. And we realise that we are all equal before the eyes of our Creator God. This is community as it was designed to be. All are welcome at this service, old and young.

We warmly invite you to join us for this ‘Quiet Christmas’ service. If you find Christmas difficult, you are missing someone who has died, grieving or feeling especially lonely because of the time of year, then please do come along. During the service, we will share readings, prayers, and gentle uplifting music, whilst offering comfort and support to one another. You will be able to leave a prayer on the Christmas prayer tree & light a candle in memory of your loved one. It is a lovely way to remember someone you are missing this Christmas. We hope you will join us for this poignant & heartfelt occasion.
