TRANSCRIPT
Sunday mornings at 8am Holy Communion (said, from the Book of Common Prayer) is celebrated in the south aisle. The congregation numbers 8-15. There is a short homily and the service lasts about 40 minutes.
Sunday mornings at 10am All-age Communion involves the youth choir together with the Parish Choir; children remain in church for the whole service (which lasts about an hour).
Sung Eucharist involves the New Voices choir who usually sing a setting of the service and Introit and Communion anthems. The service may last 75 minutes. In the Hall there is either an alternative Informal service for all ages (which includes a time in the different age groups) or Junior Church.
Family Service involves the youth choir (and sometimes a music group); children remain in church for the whole service (which lasts about 45 minutes).
Parish Communion (which lasts about 60-70 minutes) involves an informal Allcomers Choir (open to all; it practises at 9.15am on the day). Junior Church meets in the Hall; they usually join the congregation for Communion.
Prayer for healing is offered at all 10am Communions (except major Festivals).
