Holy Communion

This is our main service of the week, and uses the Church of England’s contemporary range of services. There is plenty of music, ranging in style from modern worship songs to well loved hymns, sometimes played on the organ and sometimes on the piano. At major festivals the choir will often sing too.

Christians of any denomination who are used to receiving communion in their own churches are very welcome to do so here.

There is a sermon, which will usually last no more than 10-15 minutes. People, of all ages attend this service, and there are toys and activities for children available at the back of church.

The service is also live-streamed to our Facebook group for those who would like to join us from home. There is a loop system for those with hearing difficulties and there are refreshments served after the service in the parish hall.
