Fourth Sunday of each month at 10.30am

Another Contemporary Service of Worship (in addition to the All Age Worship on 2nd Sundays). The service is non-eucharistic, based upon the Service of the Word in Common Worship.

We use contemporary words, contemporary music and service leaders wear contemporary clothing! The Parochial Church Council has given approval to a six month trial for this service from January to June 2008 with a review towards the end.  Children of all ages are welcomed in the service and there will be a greater use of visual media (and less on paper and print).  The service is part of our regular worship provision and follows the same themes as explored during the other services at 10.30am.  Each month, the overall pattern remains the same: a typical 4 Sunday month: two Sundays is Holy Communion 1st and 3rd) and 2nd is non-eucharistic (2nd – All Age and 4th Sunday). We hope that this new service will be helpful in creating another worship framework for us all to express our praise and adoration to our Lord God.
