Details about styles of Worship at each service
9.00am BCP Holy Communion (at St. Bartholomew’s)
BCP (The Book of Common Prayer) is the 1662 traditional service book of the Church of England.
10.30am All Age at St Chad’s
This service is lively, contemporary, all-age, all-stage, and child-friendly. We try to incorporate modern songs, occasional drama, interactive prayers and accessible teaching.
After worship all are welcome to stay for fellowship over coffee. This is a good opportunity to meet with friends, or make new ones.
10.30am Holy Communion and Morning Worship at St Chad’s
These services tend to follow a more traditional form of preaching service. We encourage the involvement of members of the congregation in doing the Bible readings and leading prayers.
Junior Church meets during these services. The children start with the adults in the service, and leave for their groups at the end of the first hymn. They aim to return to the church service in time for communion or the final hymn.
After worship all are welcome to stay for fellowship over tea/coffee. This is a good opportunity to meet with friends, or make new ones.
10.30am Holy Communion and Morning Worship at St Bartholomew’s
