COME AND VISIT COME AND WORSHIP
Every Sunday there is a traditional communion service at 08:00 followed by a less formal 10:30 service, which is usually a communion service.
The All Age Communion Service on the first Sunday of each month is especially popular. Sunday evening services are at 18:30 and they alternate between communion and evening prayer. We also have weekly evening prayer and Bible study on Wednesdays at 19:00.
Every 1st & 3rd Sunday we host open church from 2-5pm. Come and look around, or come with your christening, wedding or churchyard enquiries, or light a candle and enjoy some peace and quiet. All are welcome to any of our services or open church times.
