Parish Communion Service

Occurring
Every Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
St James The Great
Address
High Wych Road High Wych Sawbridgeworth, CM21 0JB, United Kingdom

At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.

At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.

We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.

We love to welcome anyone to our Sunday services so please do come along!
