Sunday Services

10.15 am: Holy Communion with Junior Church

During Sunday morning services on the third and fourth Sunday of each month, children between the ages of five and eleven enjoy exciting activities when they attend Junior Church in the Dorothy Parkes Centre, next to Old Church. Children under five are very welcome, if with parent or carer. The theme of the activities is usually linked to the bible readings of that day. All leaders are experienced in working with children and are CRB checked. Older children belong to Big Fish, which has a very wide range of activities. Please see the Youth and Young People Page for further details.

5.00 pm: Evening Prayer

The service is often led by a member of the Old Church family and is based on the Book of Common Prayer.
