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.

Taizé Service 6.30pm

The next Taizé Service is Sunday 29th June 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.’

The Garden of Remembrance is only open when the Priory is open, there is a small area that has been cordoned off due to loose masonry on the tower, please do not go into this area.

Our Memorial Books in our side chapel, are always available to view inside the Church.
