Sundays & Holy Days

Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity

Sunday, 29 September, 2024

Collect for the day

Almighty and everlasting God,
increase in us your gift of faith
that, forsaking what lies behind
and reaching out to that which is before,
we may run the way of your commandments
and win the crown of everlasting joy;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Sunday Evenings

We normally have an evening service at 6pm on Sundays.

On the first Sunday of the month this is Reflections, built around a period of quiet contemplation.
We have Choral Evensong the third Sunday of the month (except in August, when the choir is on holiday, and December, when we have Christmas choral evening services).
Otherwise there is usually a quiet evening service in our Cuthman Chapel in traditional language.

These times and dates may change according to season or special events, please refer to the current notice sheet.

Weekday Services

Our weekly 11:30am WEDNESDAY EUCHARIST takes place in the chancel with appropriate Covid-19 precautions. On the fourth Wednesday of the month this usually includes prayers for healing.
