At St Peter's you will find a variety of worship styles.
Our main Sunday service is at 9.45am. This is always a service of Holy Communion, which may be Sung Eucharist, All Age Worship followed by Communion, or a Family Communion. The diary gives details of which service will be used each week.
-
Sung Eucharist. These services ususally last until about 11.00am; they are services of Holy Communion at which our adult choir sing an anthem. Our groups for children (Young Seekers and The Club) meet in the Hall during these services.
-
All Age Worship followed by Communion. The first informal part of this service lasts until about 10.30am. It is suitable for children and adults and music is provided by both our Music Group and our organist. All Age Worship acts as the Liturgy of the Word for those who wish to stay for Holy Communion, which usually finishes by about 11.00am.
-
Family Communion is a service at which children and adults are present throughout. Music is led by the choir who sing a short introit. These services finish by about 10.45am.
Refreshments are served in the Hall after all 9.45am services.
You will also find an opportunity for reflective worship and 'something different' either during the week or at other Sunday services. Our Sundays at 6.30 programme offers a wide variety of worship - this might be a 'film night', a Taizé-style service, or a lively programme led by our young people.
Music plays an important part in our worship and we welcome new members to any of our musical groups. There are opportunities for people with any level of experience to be involved in either the traditional church choir or the informal music groups - singing or playing.
