Our Normal Services

We are happy to be open again for services in our church building!

SUNDAYS:  10.00 a.m. (traditional worship in the Church)
SUNDAYS:  10.30 a.m. (contemporary worship in the Hall)
THURSDAYS:  10.30 a.m. (BCP Holy Communion)

All Visitors can be assured of a warm welcome at any of our services.

Here’s what you need to know.

Whatever your background, situation, where you’re from, what you believe, or how you’re feeling – you are welcome to join us at St Mary’s.

Typically our Sunday services run for about an hour with a traditional service at 10am followed by a forty five minutes all age service at 10-30 am.

Someone will welcome you on the way in and help you find a seat. You can sit where you like and our dress code is casual.

The worship at the 10am service is led by an organ and choir and you will be given a hymn book if you wish to join in.  There will also be a sermon and prayers.

The 10-30 service will usually involve some singing with a supporting band, prayer, and a sermon. You’re welcome to join in with the singing, sometimes there will be invitation to pray out loud, and occasionally the sermon will be interactive.  In all these you are as free not to join in as to do so.

On one Sunday each month there is Communion.  Whatever your tradition you are welcome to receive Communion if you are a follower of Jesus.

If you have questions we encourage you to talk to someone at the end of the service – the people that welcomed you can help, or we have a prayer team at the front of church, or you can talk to Tom our Rector.

If you have children with you then please bring them into church.  At the 10-30 service you can decide if you would like them to stay with you in the service or join our children’s group in the hall.
