The Eucharist

The Eucharist is at the heart of our common life as God’s people. It is the celebration of the very deepest mystery of God’s love, in sending Jesus Christ to be born as one of us, to surrender himself to death on the cross for the sins of the whole world, and to rise from the grave so that we might share His risen life. This is the one act of worship which Jesus commanded his followers to make.

In it, we attend to the wisdom of God proclaimed from the Scriptures, and hear the story of his saving love demonstrated through history. In it, we go to God in prayer with the needs of the world and all its people on our hearts. In it, with bread and wine, we make the memorial of Christ’s death and resurrection. In it, we are fed with the Body and Blood of Christ, and are joined with him and with one another in communion. And from it, we go out with Christ’s grace and blessing to radiate His love in the world.

While the 1st Sunday of the month is usually our Family Eucharist, children and families can always be assured of a very warm welcome at all of our services. Baptisms can take place within the main Parish Eucharist, or at 12.15pm on the 2nd Sunday of the month.

Our Pew Sheet is always available at the back of the church, with notices of upcoming activities.
