This service celebrates Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday before Advent. A service of Holy Communion which includes a sermon and four hymns. The term "Sung" means that, in addition to the hymns, some parts of the service are sung by the congregation. The words and music are in the service booklet and are easy to sing!
Evensong is a service that’s traditionally held - as the name suggests - in the evening, marking the passing of another day in faith. It’s fairly short, usually around 40 minutes, and features choral music, readings and prayers.

This is a shorter (said) version of a Eucharist service, without the hymns or a sermon.
St Mary's has an enthusiastic robed choir who lead the congregation in worship, accompanied by the organ.
They also perform anthems for special services, and are particularly busy over Easter and Christmas, with both Advent and Christmas carol services.
Choir practice is in St Mary's Church on Wednesdays at 7:00pm. Newcomers, ideally with a basic ability to read music, are always welcome.

This service is held on those Sunday evenings when the service in the morning was not a Eucharist. It is taken from the Book of Common Prayer and includes hymns, a sermon and Holy Communion.
This informal family service at the beginning of the season of Advent brings together music, readings, and the lighting of candles, as we move from darkness to light in the expectation of Christ's coming.
We also begin the "The Posada" which celebrates Joseph and Mary's journey from Bethlehem to Nazareth in search of a place for Baby Jesus to be born. In Plumtree, small figures of the Holy Family travel from home to home in the parish and are received back at St Mary's on Christmas Eve at our Christingle service.

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. A relaxed service, ideal for families with babies, toddlers or older children.
Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
The orange represents the world
The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
A service of Holy Communion for Christmas Day.
