Sunday Parish Eucharist

10:15 am every Sunday

Our main weekly service

The Eucharist, also known as Mass or Holy Communion, commemorates the Last Supper, when Christ shared a meal with his disciples before offering himself on the cross, a sacrifice that brings us the gift of new life. 

​What to expect:

A sung service with a choir including hymns, anthems and a sermon.

Our worship is in the catholic tradition of the Church of England, with robed altar party and incense. 

The service lasts around an hour and 10 minutes, followed by coffee, tea and refreshments.

 

If it is your tradition to receive the bread and wine, you are warmly welcome to do so. Alternatively, you may choose to receive a blessing from the priest or simply observe.

​

Children are welcome

There is a children's area at the back of church and a changing table in the disabled toilet
