Our services generally follow a regular pattern with the first Sunday of the month being 9:15am Holy Communion and the third Sunday, 10:45am Morning Worship - a service of about 45 minutes. Tea or coffee are offered after both services. Where there is a fifth Sunday in a month services rotate around the benefice.

The pattern of services may alter on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter. Changes will be shown on the church notice board and in the Parish Magazine.
