SUNDAY SERVICES
Parish Eucharist & Sunday School at 11.15am
This the main Sunday service. The children start off in church for the opening hymn and prayer, and are then led to the next-door vicarage for their activity, returning at the communion to receive a blessing.
The Eucharist is sung congregationally, with a Psalm, four hymns and a sermon, led by the choir. The preaching is relevant and seeks both to challenge and encourage.
There is always coffee, tea and biscuits after the service, and periodically there are buffet–style Parish Lunches as well.
The service is approximately 60 minutes long.On Sunday Evenings at 6.30pm there is a shorter service in the Lady Chapel which takes different forms throughout the month (see Other Sunday Services).
