A service of Holy Communion at Midday held in the choir stalls which last half an hour.

This service will be held every week except first Sundays (see Contemporary service). It begins our day of worship and is held in the choir stalls at Holy Trinity. Using the 1662 prayer book communion service first written by Thomas Cranmer in 1548, this quiet service lasts between 30 and 35 minutes. A short homily of 5 minutes explores the scriptures used for the day. We have printed a new service booklet that allows those unfamiliar with this pattern of service to easily follow and take part. All are welcome to experience worship that has been held in this way (with only minor revision in 1662!!) for well over 450 years.

This Service is Live-Streamed.

The liturgy that shapes this service was first introduced in the year 2000. It echoes many aspects of the prayer book service, but includes 8 versions of the Eucharistic prayer; these are the prayers used as the bread and wine are consecrated for communion. All liturgy and hymn words are displayed on a screen. A short sermon explores the scriptures used for the day. We shall also be offering sung worship choosing music from the hymn book that best suits our service and season. Held every Sunday in the nave of the church, this service will last approximately an hour.

The First Sunday of each month will be a service of contemporary worship which is deliberately family friendly with provision for children during the service. It will occasionally be a Communion service using familiar liturgy but with a lighter touch. The music at this service will be modern worship songs with the occasional dip into the rich worshipping history of the past. In this relaxed atmosphere we shall allow the friendship and conversation we have be as important as the times of reverence and silence so that our young people feel as much a part of the church family as adults do.

This will be a service of intergenerational worship that includes more modern worship songs, (led by the band) discussion, innovative ways of sharing prayer, learning from each other and celebrating what God is doing in our lives. It's interactive and relational and will involve sharing refreshments. It will be like the Café Church service we used to have at 10.30am but developed further to engage more fully with our faith. This service will last approximately an hour and will run during term time.
