This page sets a detailed listing of the current service pattern at St Mary's. If the whole church experience is new to you, you might find our What Goes on in Church? page more informative.
The following table shows the service pattern from Easter 2010. However, there are many exceptions so it is always worth checking the What’s On page.
| 1st Sun of month | 2nd Sun of month | 3rd Sun of month | 4th Sun of month | 5th Sun of month (exceptional) | August (all Sundays except 5th) | |

Where we have 9-45am and 11-15am services on a Sunday morning we have refreshments in the Church Hall in between the two.
Our Sung Communion services are taken from the Church of England’s Common Worship. To see in detail what this involves, download a PDF copy of the service. (We use Order One and normally Eucharistic Prayer A).
For sung services, we usually use Mission Praise as our hymn book.
