Thursdays

12.30pm Holy Communion with Prayers for Healing (CW)

in St Thomas’ Chapel (right hand aisle, adjacent to the high altar)

This weekly service is one in which we pray for healing and reconciliation.

Our prayers are offered for individuals and communities in need, and we offer the laying on of hands and anointing with holy oil, as outward signs of our prayers and of the work of God in reconciling all things to himself in love.

You may want to come and receive prayer for yourself or equally, for someone you love or are concerned about or you may want to pray for broader concern.

All are welcome to join us in praying for God’s healing work in our world.

Baptism

– the first step is Baptism Preparation – usually on 1st Sunday of the month

The next preparation is this Sunday 2nd February 2025 at 3.30pm.

The first Sunday of most months, (not in August) we hold Baptism Preparation class.

4.00pm Families@4 on Sunday

The next Families@4 is Sunday 23rd February 2025

On the fourth Sunday of each month we invite children and their families to worship and learn together.

There is something in this service for everyone. It is an informal and relaxed service.

The service takes a more child centred approach with much greater involvement by the children from the congregation.

Children can read the lessons, prayers and participate in presentations.

Taizé Service 6.30pm

The next Taizé Service is 9th February 2025

(Choral Evensong does not take place on these dates.)

‘Taizé Prayer is evening prayer for all Christian faiths.

It is a simple, meditative form of worship, calling us to dwell deeply on Christ’s presence around and within us; songs, prayerful silence, and short readings guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.’
