This website contains information about the history of the church, its worship, the services of baptism (Christening) and marriage, (how to them plan and what they mean), and the planning of a funeral service. There is also a church diary of services and events, and articles on Christian faith and living the Christian life.  The church is very much part of its local community and so the website gives details of fund raising and social events, as well as details of any major projects the church is undertaking.

The 8.00am service is traditional Prayer Book (1662) service of Holy Communion, with no hymns and no sermon. It generally lasts about 30 minutes. Many people brought up with the Prayer Book speak of enjoying its “poetry” and cherishing some wonderful liturgical phrases that have been part of their worship and faith for a long time. This is a quiet reflective service for those who welcome such a beginning to Sunday.

The 11.00am service is the main act of worship and the form of service changes according to the Sunday in the month. On the first Sunday of the month we have an informal All-Age Service at which families are most welcome and children are encouraged to take part in the service. On the second, third and fourth Sundays of the month we celebrate with a service of Holy Communion. This is a simple, modern, liturgical service where we like to welcome everyone to receive communion or a blessing. The Children go out together after The Confession and enjoy a bible story, craft and usually some singing. They return to the service during communion and come forward together for a blessing at the altar, before returning to their families.

Mattins is a service of Morning Prayer taken from the Book of Common Prayer (1662) with sung canticles and psalms. It is a service that many people love and appreciate. The service includes 4 hymns, a good sermon, and a time of intercession. The service is followed by refreshments in church, which is a good chance to chat and extend the fellowship enjoyed during the service.

The Holy Communion service is fairly traditional, (but not Prayer Book), with 4 hymns, a time of intercession and a good, but not too long, sermon! The service generally lasts about 50 minutes.

The Family Festivals are short very informal, interactive services. We hope the timing of the service enables families to “do something” during the day and then come to church before going home for tea. The services are especially designed to be enjoyed by young families and every effort is taken to involve the children wherever possible. The general format is hymn, short interactive talk, craft, short prayers and final hymn. Children who are too young to join in with the singing are invited to choose a musical instrument to play. The Family Festival services last no more than 30 minutes and they are followed by extensive refreshments with a time for the children to listen to a story, play a theme related game, count the collection taken, (by the children), towards “Living Gifts” or generally a time to play and enjoying being in church. There is a lending library available too with a range of Christian books for children. Adults too enjoy time to chat and get to know each other.
