Sundays at St Mary’s

8 am – Said Communion

This service is said, no hymns, no fuss and lasts about 30 minutes. It alternates between the traditional language of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. The service has a small and loyal congregation made up of people who like to be up and about early! All are welcome.

9.30 am – Sung Eucharist

The main service at St Mary’s each week. People of all ages (from less than a year to more than 100) come to this service and there is always a strong community feel. It’s also live streamed on YouTube. Music is an important component, supported by our adult and Youth Choirs. Coffee is served in the building after the service.

On the first Sunday of the month the service is “All Age” and has even more of a family feel to it. The service is followed by Grow Youth Group for young people of secondary school age.

You can download the seasonal orders of service for the 9.30 Eucharist on this page.

6.00 pm – Choral Evensong

Takes place on some Sundays. A perfect end to the week, the service is sung by our adult choir, there are usually three hymns for you to join in with if you wish. This is a form of service that has been used almost unchanged since 1549 and with its real foundations many centuries before that. It is also a form of service that will be taking place in cathedrals and larger parish churches throughout the world. Beyond time and space! More here.
