Types of Service

Compline - Compline is a short service of night prayer. The ancient office of Night Prayer (Compline) derives its name from a Latin word meaning 'completion' (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day.

Refresh - Refresh is an informal, family friendly, café-style service which starts with refreshments and includes a short time of sung worship, discussion on a different topic each week and prayers. At St Nicholas’ Church, Refresh is held in the church hall and starts at 09.45am with coffee and croissants. At Christ Church it is held at the back of church and starts at 10.30am.

Together in Worship - Together in Worship is an informal service which is held monthly at St Nicholas, led by both lay and ordained members of the ministry team.

Morning Prayer - Morning Prayer is a service that uses traditional liturgy handed down through the centuries, formally known as Matins. In our morning prayer services, we also include the singing of hymns or more modern songs, and a short reflection based on the Bible passage of the day.

Holy Communion - Holy Communion is celebrated across the Benefice and around the world as a memorial of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This is in response to his words at the final meal he shared with his disciples, ‘Do this in remembrance of me’.

Teatime Family Service - Our Teatime Service is for all the family. It is designed to cater for children who are primary age and below and so we seek to worship in a way that is familiar to them. This involves creativity, noise and a lot of fun! We are conscious that all children are different (as are all adults) and so there is no pressure on anyone to get more involved than they wish to be. The service is 30 minutes long and is followed by food in the church hall afterwards.
