Worship at St Mary's

Worship is the most important thing we do. It is our duty and our joy to spend time in our Heavenly Father's presence. It consists of praise, adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession, under the form of prayer and hymns and spiritual songs.

That said, we all know that people's tastes in those things differs - some like traditional services, others modern, some like formality, others prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.  Some like modern music played on guitars, others prefer organs and choirs.

Here at St Mary's, we have found that God has given us many gifts with which to praise him and it's up to us to bring all those into play so that we can have a rich and varied worship life.

FORMAL(ish) CONTEMPORARY SERVICES

10.30 am Parish Eucharist (2nd, 3rd & 4th Sundays)

On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month,  at 10.30am, we offer a contemporary language Holy Communion service, with hymns and songs sung by a robed choir.  A sermon is preached.  Children's groups meet in the Church Centre for their own teaching as adults listen to and reflect on the word of God themselves. Holy Communion is shared.

On the 1st Sunday we have a service of Morning Prayer with hymns and a sermon.

INFORMAL WORSHIP

We have a MIDWEEK INFORMAL SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION at 9.30am on Wednesdays.  Coffee is served after this and also after all our morning services.
