Sunday 11:00am: Holy Communion

Held on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th Sunday in the month
This service offers communion and is a mix of traditional and less traditional styles. The words are from Common Worship and much of the music is from Common Praise with more modern songs supplementing these. The vast majority of music is played on the organ with the piano being used where appropriate. Searchers (our junior church) is offered at this service and Baptisms will sometimes take place.

There is always an opportunity to stay for tea and a chat after the 11:00am service.
