Prayer to begin the day, Every weekday Morning Prayer is said in the Lady Chapel at 9am. We use Common Worship Daily Office: there's an app or this and we also have hard-copy books. If not sure what all this means or what to expect, just come along and we'll guide you. Or just be held in prayer

Holy Communion every week at 9.30am using Common Worship (in modern language). Hymns, readings, sermon and prayer and robed choir (a good choral tradition supports our worship.) and sharing the bread and wine of communion.

Book of Common Prayer Evensong. A timeless service from the old prayer book using, traditional language. We have a really good parish choir singing an Anthem every week - and everyone joins in with hymns and the responses. There's good preaching too. Evensong is one of the treasures of Anglicanism. Join us for this glorious traditional service!

We begin with a simple service for pre school age and their carers in church at 10:30am. It has a regular and familiar pattern of songs, which really help the children's sense of belonging. Followed by play and refreshments in the church hall. And we now have attached a card for the themes of this term and when we're having a break (eg for Bank Holidays or Summer Holidays)

On the First Sunday of each month we hold an All-Age Communion Service - for older and younger, men, woman and children. We bring the altar to the front of our mediaeval Rood Screen. Common Worship (in modern language) Bible reading often from the Contemporary English Version, a more interactive sermon, hymns, prayer and the choir. Come and join us.

A forest of Christmas Trees decorated by different organisations in our town. The trees and music create a great atmosphere, full of wonder and simple joy. There will also be food and drink, raffles... A lovely community event for the run up to Christmas in Witham.

A simple and reflective service held 8pm on Wednesday evenings during Advent. Making a time of stillness and calm amidst the hectic busyness of all our Christmas preparations

The church is in semi-darkness. We gather at the back of church. Together, holding candles and singing a Taizé or Iona chant we process together to the Lady Chapel. Here there are short readings, a hymn and a meditation or reflection: and then a time of quiet. We then process (singing) back to where we started.
