I’m sure you would quickly feel at home if you visit either of our two churches! As an Anglican church, we normally follow a liturgical shape (participative!), main Sunday services last about one hour, ending with a Eucharist (communion celebration), at which all baptised members of any Christian denomination are welcome to share the bread and wine with us. All however are always welcome to receive a blessing.

You will find we are Bible-based churches and in the Liturgy of the Word, we look for God to speak to each one of us through the Bible and in our preaching. Our hymns vary from the traditional to the more modern and normally on the 4th Sunday of the month we have a Family (all-age) Service, where we are generally more informal and have fun sharing together, as we learn more about God and his Kingdom values.

I very much look forward to meeting you at any of our services. We aim to be child-friendly and provide activities for various ages, normally with a crèche at St Catharine’s (activity bags at St Mary’s) and Sunday Schools at both churches during School Term Time.
