The aim of this page is to give some information on the type of worship we regularly hold at All Saints Church with a brief explanation as to style and frequency. Please refer to our Months Calendar for exact details of the services this month.

Where a service doesn't happen every month we have indicated below when the next service will be.

As a Church we are open to trying a number of forms of worship and if you are looking for something particularly please do get in touch and let us know.

HOLY COMMUNION
Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday within our Church. Holy Communion - also referred to as the Eucharist is a re-enactment of the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest, and eventual crucifixion. At the meal Jesus ate bread and wine and instructed his disciples to do the same in memory of him. We use a set liturgy for this service.

  • There is a said service at 8am every week.
  • There is a 10am service of Holy Communion on the 1st, 3rd and 4th Sundays in the month
  • And at 6:30pm on a 2nd Sunday and 5th Sunday (where is occurs in a month)

HEALING SERVICE
This service focuses on the healing power of God, through a quiet service. There is opportunity to light a candle or receive the laying on of hands - either for yourself or for someone else. We often have guest speakers at these services to share their experiences with us.

  • Our main service of healing takes place on a 3rd Sunday at 6:30pm.
  • There is an opportunity to receive the laying on of hands at the 10:00am service on the 1st Sunday of the month.

TAIZE SERVICE
Taizé, in the south of Burgundy, France, is the home of an international, ecumenical community, founded there in 1940 by Brother Roger (see www.taize.fr/en). This service follows the principles of Taize worship. It uses simple words and chants to create time for reflection and meditation.

  • This service takes place every other month on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm - the next one is 4th June 2007.
