Service Times and Diary

Services

We follow the Common Worship provision for our Eucharist service on a Sunday at 10am, and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer at 8am. Our worship is in the catholic tradition (use of vestments, occasional incense, Reservation of the Sacrament), though in a central/modern form.  We have  a robed choir and a team of altar-servers at the main Sunday Eucharist. Incense is used at certain festivals. Our worship is inclusive, with children gathering at the altar at the beginning of the service, before going to their own worship, tempering our 'traditional' approach with a little informality. Our hymnody is also broad and varied with the 'old favourites' and modern worship songs. With the advent of current technology, we have access to all hymn-books, so not limited to one style. 

Parents with toddlers are particularly welcome. A safe space with toys is provided!

8.00 am Said Eucharist (1662 Book of Common Prayer)
10.00 am Sung Eucharist (Common Worship, Contemporary Language)

Morning Prayer (Common Worship) is said in St Luke's Chapel Monday-Friday at 9.15 am.

There are many ways in which the congregation is involved in our worship, for example by reading or being intercessors or servers. Please speak to a member of the clergy, if you would be interested in joining either our Servers Team, Reader Team or Intercession Team. These are wonderful ways of being involved in the worship life of this church. You would be most welcome!

Fairtrade tea and coffee are available after the service.
