8.00am to 1.00pm Come & Go when you like

8.00am - Morning Prayer

  • the traditional 'Prayer Book' service of 'Matins', slightly shortened, with prayers, Bible readings and ancient Psalms & Canticles (there is no singing at this time in the morning).

8.30am - Traditional Communion

  • the Communion part of the Holy Communion service in the 'Book of Common Prayer - 1662', along with a short sermon.

9.00am - Breakfast & Conversation

  • a continental breakfast, preceded by a traditional prayer of thanksgiving. Sometimes we chat about the theme for the day, sometimes we just chat.

9.30am - Songs of Praise

  • a selection of well loved hymns & songs, interspersed with a short Bible reading, a 'thought for the day', and time for prayer.

10.00am - Understanding our Faith

  • a reading from the Bible, followed by a 'sermon' applying the theme of the reading to life and faith in the 21st century. A song and some prayers will then give you time to respond to God.

10.30am - Family Communion

  • A contemporary Anglican celebration of Holy Communion that links Jesus' Last Supper & his first meetings with his disciples after the Resurrection to the challenges and opportunities of our lives today.

11.00am - Refreshments & Activities

  • after the communal announcements and a prayer of commitment to God, we disperse to a wide variety of activities, from coffee and chat, to presentations about different aspects of church and local community life. There is also an opportunity to talk and pray, in private, about particular concerns.

11.30am - Praise & Worship

  • contemporary worship songs (with the occasional golden oldie) mixed with time to pray and a short reading from the Bible.

12.00noon - Exploring Faith Together

  • a Bible story retold rather than read, a discussion instead of a sermon, and the bread & wine of communion shared together as an informal meal rather than a formal liturgical act.

12.30pm - Food & Friendship
