Services at St. Mary’s

We are a church family of widely varying ages, from very young children to venerable members in their 90s! Our worship services are therefore planned with this in mind.

We look forward to welcoming you, as together we seek to fulfil the part of our Mission statement, ‘growing in worship’.

SUNDAYS

Our Sunday services are held at 8am and 10:30am. On the first Sunday of each month there is a Family Service at 10:30am,  usually held in our Church Centre. This is a shorter service with music for all ages led by our worship team. A play area with seating is available at the back of the hall. On the other Sundays we meet in the Church. On the second and fourth Sundays we normally have a Common Worship Communion Service, whilst the third Sunday is matins – a very traditional morning service taken from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.
