The churchmanship can largely be described as "middle of the road". The church’s tradition of worship is
centred round the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist. The Sacrament is reserved. It is customary for
the president to wear alb and stole. The vast majority of the congregation happily accepted the introduction
of Common Worship and the current hymnbook, Common Praise.
The Church’s main Sunday service is the Parish Eucharist assisted by two or more lay assistants, servers
and readers, attracts 80- 100 worshipers on average, at 10.00am.
The liturgy used is Order One from Common Worship in our own service book. There are two readings and a
sermon of about ten minutes duration. On the second Sunday the service is non-Eucharistic; an informal
liturgy, with contemporary worship songs and an all-age talk for the children, attracts large numbers of
‘fringe’ families and is a good introduction to the church for those who have not been regular attendees.
The Free form service attracts some 120 people. Alongside the more formal services, our church uses a less
formal Family Eucharist several times a year on special occasions e.g. Pentecost.
