There are a variety of services at All Saints’ and you are very welcome to attend any of them. Children are always welcome at all of our services. The information below will hopefully give you a flavour of the style of worship at the different services. Sunday Services 8.00am Holy Communion Book of Common Prayer. (alternate weeks see Diary for 8.00am Holy Communion dates) A simple and reflective Communion service using traditional language from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. It is a said service so there are no hymns. The service lasts about 35 minutes. 9.45am Parish Communion A formal service of Communion using the Common Worship Service Book. There is a robed choir and both traditional and contemporary hymns are sung. The service lasts about 1 hour and 10 minutes followed by tea and coffee in the hall. 10.45am # First Sunday Service On the First Sunday of the month the communion service is slightly shorter in duration (1 hour or less) and has a more informal feel to it. It is especially appropriate for people exploring their faith and families. Tea and freshly brewed coffee are available in the hall afterwards. 6.00pm Evening Worship (alternate weeks see Diary for 6.00pm Evening Worship dates) Normally Evening Worship takes the form of Evensong alternating between the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. Sometimes there may be an informal service such as Songs of Praise, Taize, or other reflective styles of worship. Please check the Diary page of the Magazine which is available on this web site for information of the Evening Services. Evening Services usually last about 50 minutes. 2.00pm Forest Church (Second Sunday of the Month) Forest Church is a fresh expression of church which recognises and celebrates the presence of God in nature. This provides for a new way of exploring creation and engaging with God in local woods. Forest Church is open to people of all ages. Meet outside the Church and then go to the woods. We will finish up in the church garden to reflect and have refreshments. Forest Church lasts for 2 hours. 11.30am Family Service (Third Sunday of the Month) This very informal service is particularly geared towards children and their families with songs, bible story prayer and a Family Activity Creative time. The service lasts for about 30-40 minutes. Tea, freshly brewed coffee, squash, etc. are available at the back of church at the end of the service. Mid Week Services 7.05am Morning Prayer (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) A simple, informal and reflective service at the start of the day based on the Common Worship order of service. The service lasts about 20 minutes. 9.30am Holy Communion (Thursdays) A said service of Holy Communion lasting for 30 minutes, followed by refreshments. Some further information Receiving Communion Worshipers from all Christian traditions who would usually receive communion in their own church are invited to take Communion at All Saints’. Those who are not confirmed are warmly invited to come forward for a prayer of blessing. Children are really welcome. Please bring them along we have a play area in the church with toys and activities. There is a hearing loop in church for those with a hearing aid.
