Sunday Morning Services

Our Sunday morning services are celebrations of the Eucharist with bread and wine blessed and shared as living signs of God’s love. All are welcome to participate and receive communion wherever you are on your journey of faith.

There is space for reflection and expression of our engagement with issues of justice.

We celebrate the different seasons, feasts and festivals of the church year.

The 8am Eucharist is around 45 minutes long and offers a quiet start to the day.

The 10am Eucharist is usually just over an hour long and includes a range of music – hymns, songs, chants and instrumental. Children are very welcome with books, crafts and toys in a comfortable space in the church.

Early Foundations

Early Foundations gathers as a lively worshipping community celebrating the belonging and faith of children and their grown ups.
We use story, play, craft, silence, music and simple structure to express the adventure of God’s life.


Join us on the second Sunday of the month for coffee and breakfast snacks from 9:30am with a short time of worship starting at 10am.

Children and adults gathered around a square white plate filled with colorful small round candies and some spilled colored syrup or sauce, decorating the plate on a patterned tiled floor.

Foundation

Foundation meets every Sunday evening at 7pm with an experimental approach to worship and being church. The services follow a weekly pattern based around our four core values - ‘Rest’, ‘Table’, ‘Create’ and ‘Engage’ - using music, discussion, readings, shared silence, creative engagement and prayer.

The Foundation community is a diverse company of spiritual seekers and doubters who wonder if ‘church’ is their thing!

Open Table

Open Table is a monthly communion service and gathering for LGBTQIA+ Christians, and their friends and allies. We are part of a growing partnership of communities across England & Wales which genuinely welcome and affirm people of diverse sexualities, and anyone who wants to belong in an accepting, loving community.

Join us on the first Sunday of the month for cake and conversation from 4:30pm with a service at 5pm. Worship is often led by a visiting minister who shares our inclusive commitment and queer faith.

Weekday Services

Start your day with a few of us at 9am on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays for Morning Prayer – a 20 minute service that includes prayers, psalms and bible readings; with space to join in, or to let the words and silence wash over you.

On Thursdays at 9am we celebrate a 30-40 minute contemplative Eucharist with prayer, readings, a reflection, and the sharing of communion.
