We mark the birth of Christ with Holy Communion at 9am.
On the second Sunday we have a service of Holy Communion. This is also sometimes called a Eucharist. Here we share bread and wine to both remember Jesus’s saving actions and in a deep and mysterious way be attached to him as well as connected to each other. The service includes readings from the Bible, times of prayer, a reflection or sermon. Its done in traditional language and it is in fact an older form of service first developed in the 16th century called the Book of Common Prayer. People value it for its connection to our past and particularly for its beautiful language. We love this service with its reverence and holiness, but also as an opportunity to be together with God.
The next service of Holy Communion will be on Sunday 12 January 2025 at 9 am.
God, Jesus and the journey of life in six sessions.
A fast-paced, interactive exploration of the Christian faith.
In six lively sessions we look at:
LIFE - what's it all about and where are we going?
GOD - does he exist and, if so, what is he like?
MESS - why is the world - and all of us - so messed up?
JESUS - who was is he, and how can he be relevant today?
CROSS - what can the death of Jesus mean for us now?
ONWARDS - how can I go forward with God in my life?
If you have got any questions about life and the Christian faith and are looking for answers then why not "Make a Start!"?

This service is much loved in the Church of England. It’s a service that began its development in the 16th century but actually has ties to much early forms of worship in monasteries. It uses traditional language and through its regular rhythm is a time of prayer and reflection.
The next service of Evening Prayer is on 26 January 2025 at 4pm.
