Services

We hold a number of different types of services at St. Mary's every month, which we hope will meet the needs of all those who worship at our church.

From October 1st our service pattern is changing as we introduce a new more informal service on Sunday Morning at 10.45 am. The more traditional service has therefore been brought forward to 9.15 am. All our services will now be taking place in Church

Our children and young people will be sharing the first part of the 10.45 am service before going off to their own activities

More information about the services is given below the table
