All times of worship are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
8:00am - Holy Communion: a simple said service with address
10:00am - Family Eucharist and Junior Church: the family friendly main service. Children can join Junior Church to engage with activities on the theme, returning to the congregation at communion time.

A Blessing Prayer for Life's Journey
God of the heights, protect and uplift you;
Christ of the depths, uphold and sustain you;
Spirit of the slopes, grasp you and guide you.
God of all,
whose Word has come among us
in the Holy Child of Bethlehem:
may the light of faith illumine our hearts
and shine in our words and deeds;
through him who is Christ the Lord.
Amen
Jesus said:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God; trust also in me.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid"
John chapter 14 v.1,6,27
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
The Lord turn his face towards you
and give you peace.
Numbers chapter 6 v.24-26
Blessing Prayer
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
