Holy Communion

This service is more reflective, with no hymns, and takes place in the calm of our side chapel. It is a short and peaceful service.

Parish Eucharist

As our main service which is celebrated at the high altar, we use vestments, incense and choral music. The liturgy is celebrated with solemnity and joy, and families with children of all ages are welcome. During the service, the children are welcome to go to Sunday School for their own Ministry of the Word; they re-join the congregation at the Peace.

10:30am every Sunday

Jubilate!

A short, relaxed service with a focus on families and children.

9am on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month

Evensong

Choral or Solemn Evensong takes place. This traditional service from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer has been sung at St Mary’s for over a hundred years, and forms a central part of our musical tradition. It is an undemanding, gentle service in which the choir takes the leading role in singing the psalms and evening canticles for the Church, enabling us to pause and worship God.

6pm (4pm in winter months) on 1st Sunday of the Month
