The Daily Office
The Church’s daily act of prayer is called, “The Daily Office”. Whether said corporately in the Lady Chapel, or said privately at home, the Office is our participation in the Church’s daily praise of God. Different psalms, readings and prayers are appointed for each day and we encourage and train our members to say the office at home or corporately when we meet.
Sundays
08.00am Eucharist without music, using Common Worship or the Book of Common Prayer alternately week by week.
09.30am Parish Eucharist uses Common Worship with our outstanding choir of children and adults leading the sung worship.
Sunday Club meets every week during school term time. Children arrive with their parents and leave during the service to their activities and then rejoin the congregation at the Lord’s Prayer.
Family Eucharist - on the first Sunday of each month our Parish Eucharist is replaced with a more informal Family Eucharist or Parade Service (with the Scout and Guide groups), which is ideal for families with younger children.
11.00am Choral Eucharist on the first Sunday of the month is sung by our choirs. This service uses the full liturgical heritage of the Church of England. Incense is used; and our choirs sing the ‘Mass setting’.
6.30pm Choral Evensong sung every Sunday apart from the first Sunday of the month by one of our five wonderful choirs. (Evening Prayer takes place on the first Sunday of the Month.)
