Worship

People often ask what our services are like, and here’s a bit of a flavour…
We can be guilty of using jargon, so do look at the end of this page if you need a phrase or two explaining…

Sundays:

8am: Our Early Morning Gathering 
It’s the service you want to wake up to: simple and spoken. here’s lots of space to contemplate and reflect and then you can go out and enjoy the rest of the day.
Once a month, we have a BCP ........ more

10am: Our Family Gathering.
It is for all ages and is multi-generational. It’s friendly, with lots of laughter and activity  from our babes and toddlers, with a thriving Junior Church and youth scene.  Expect a bit of tradition ......... more

6.30pm: This is our Dwelling time. 
We call these ‘Dwelling’ as we slow down, and spend time with each other and with God.  Expect thought provoking sermons, with a greater range of styles to suit all tastes including Taize ........more

And then there are the Celebrations & Commemorations.

Just as any birthday or big event calls for a special celebration, so our year is punctuated by special events.  Be that the huge services over Christmas with the traditional Advent Carols .... more

During the Week:

Sundays are not the only time that we meet together, and for some of us we can’t do Sundays so look for something mid-week where we can worship and keep in touch with each other. 

Weds 11am: The Mid-Week Catch up
We know that many of our family are at work, but some of us, be we retired, at home with our children or working from home, still like to gather mid week  .... more
 

8.30am: Weekday Morning Prayer

We have a committed core who pray  each weekday morning.  Anyone is welcome to join in as we pray for the tasks of the day, and  for any specific needs that people might have.  ........  more

Julian: When you just need some quiet!

This is a service that happens all over the country, and is designed to ensure that there is lots of silence with space to think and unwind.  It meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2pm, and, during the summer months, at 7.45 pm.

Jargon Buster!

We’re aware that we often use words and titles that can be confusing. 

Here’s a bit of an explanation of some of the service titles that you might see:
