Church life


Sunday morning worship is the beating heart of our life together. Visitors are a welcome and valued addition to our regular congregation. We have a Vestry who meet regularly to oversee the life of the church and fulfil our charitable obligations. Social events give us opportunities, not just to get to know one another better, but also to encourage a wider sense of belonging and participation in all that makes up who we are. We work closely with our Churches Together partners and support local and global charities as we do so.

Prayer is an integral part of our life together. We encourage regular personal prayer to build up your own relationship with God. Together we offer prayers of intercession each week in our services.
We 'Pause for Prayer' each Wednesday in St Mary's Church at 9.30am.
The Diocese has a cycle of prayer that we follow to pray for each of the charges within our Diocese
We have our own prayer diary to help us pray regularly for the life of our local communities.

Here are some helpful prayer resources:

Planning your Visit

New to church? 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at Greyfriars Church (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 11am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. It is a great way to meet people and find out more about us.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. If you need a large print service book, please ask.

Our Service

The main service begins with a warm welcome from our Priest-in-Charge. Our service of Holy Communion includes hymns accompanied on the organ, bible readings, a sermon, prayers of intercession and responses. If you are a communicant member of another church, you are invited to share Holy Communion with us. Or if you prefer, you can come to the altar for a prayer of blessing.
 

Serving and Volunteering

Once you've settled here with us, if you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. It's also a great way to get to know more people.
