Our main service at St Mary's is at 11 a.m. every Sunday
We also have Prayer book communion services at 9 am on the second, third and fifth Sundays
The basic pattern of our services is Family Communion in modern language and with children involved on the first Sunday of the month, Holy Communion on second and fourth Sundays and Matins on third and fifth Sundays. From time to time major feasts and celebrations necessitate a change to this pattern.
Children
Are an essential part of the Church. The nurture of our youngsters in the faith is a vital part of our work as a parish church. Of course, in the Family Communion we all join together.
As children grow up they usually come to confirmation when they are eleven or twelve. Many also join the choir where they learn to read music and sing a challenging repertory.
Music Makers occurs at 10.15 prior to the Family Communion at 11.00. Young people can bring their instruments and be instructed by our music leaders how to play the songs that will be sung in the service. Those who stay on will then join the music group during the service and contribute to the worship. Please do ask if you wish your child to join Music Makers.
