Sunday Worship at Christ Church
8 am - Holy Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer: a said service, lasting around half an hour, with a sermon of around 7 minutes.
10 am - Family Communion takes place on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month using the Book of Common Worship. The service has an organ, singing and Children's activities and lasts an hour to an hour and a quarter. We hope to Zoom this service.
Children's Activities
In school term, a Sunday School for 3 - 11 yr olds meets in rooms in the church during the 10 am service, joining the adults for communion. Parents can go in with their children if they would like. A Youth Group for 11-16 yr olds meets three times a term. There is also a children's corner with toys, books and colouring equipment for children of all ages in the main body of the church and toilet and nappy-changing facilities are available.
10 am - Sung Matins according to the Book of Common Prayer usually takes place on a 5th Sunday of the month. However, due to special services or holidays this may change so please check below.
6pm - Evening Prayer (during GMT) on Zoom with a homily and music.
6pm - BCP Evensong (during BST) in church and on Zoom with a homily and music.
With the exception of the 8am Holy Communion, we hope to Zoom services that are in Church, so people can still connect from home. We have installed equipment to make it easier to stream services and to allow people at home to take part in our services, eg by reading a lesson.
Where possible, links are given to this month's liturgy and hymns. Please Email if you would like the Zoom details, stating which service you are interested in. Information on joining services by Zoom is given at the foot of this page.
Please be aware that recordings of Zoom services and of the 8am homily may be put on our Facebook page so that people may watch at a later date.
There is a hearing loop in church and large print hymn books, service books and notice sheets are available
