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 our standard service pattern. However, there are many exceptions so it is always necessary to check the What’s On page.

Where we have two services on a Sunday morning we have refreshments between the two so, if attending the 11am service, why not arrive early?.
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 Communion services, we usually use Mission Praise as our hymn book.
For the Together@11 service a wider variety of music sources are used and song words are projected on the screen.
