Regular Services
10am Sunday Sung Eucharist
Our main weekly service with music usually led by our choir, including congregational hymns, a psalm, a sung service setting and an anthem. This service usually includes our Junior Church. On some Sundays during the year we aim this service more directly at younger members of the congregation whilst maintaining the overall structure, and on these occasions the junior members are encouraged to lead the prayers and readings, and the sermon is often replaced with a sketch or drama.
Choral Evensong
Usually held on the third Sunday of the month and some festivals at 4:30pm.
Evensong follows an ancient pattern of worship, allowing the choir to lead the service with a variety of sacred music. It lasts about 45 minutes and provides space for reflection as we look towards the coming week.
We sometimes move the date of this service to coincide with a festival, so please see the calendar to confirm service dates.
Iona Service
Usually the fourth Sunday of the month at 5pm.
A quiet reflective service followed by refreshments and fellowship.
