Sunday Worship & Daily Prayer

 

8.00 am Holy Communion: a quiet celebration with a congregation of 20 - 30 people. There are readings and time for reflection, and a short address. Normally the service lasts between 35 and 40 minutes.

 

10.00 am THE PARISH EUCHARIST - the main 

weekly service at Christ Church, with a regular congregation of 200 - 300 people, including a large number of children. It is a lively celebration with a mix of music and an atmosphere best described as 'formal informality'. The form of service is in the mainstream of the Church of England, but with a real openness in which people of all ages and backgrounds feel at home.

 

On the first Sunday of each month the music is led by an instrumental group and the children of the community take a special role. The Parish Eucharist lasts between an hour and an hour and a quarter. It is followed by opportunities for fellowship and learning in the Parish Centre.

 

JUNIOR CHURCH for children of 4 upwards meets on all Sundays in term time, except the first Sunday of the month.
