Our main Sunday Service is the Eucharist, otherwise known as the Holy Communion. It is a service where we give thanks and at which we remember the last supper where Jesus shared a final meal with his disciples.
The service follows a pattern developed by the Church of England over the centuries, but in modern language. You will be able to follow the service easily in the booklet you are given. The Bible readings are printed in the notice sheet. If you would like to see the readings, read or lead the prayers, please click here.
