Lighting a votive candle
Every Sunday (and sometimes on weekdays) we gather together for worship. It's the most important thing we do as a parish.
We enjoy a blend of traditional and contemporary music, with services accompanied by a diverse range of instruments and musicians. These range from an early19th century organ to a very 21st century teenage band.
The services follow the themes of the church year, providing a regular pattern of subjects for meditation and celebration. We also hold special services that celebrate milestones in our 'faith journey', or that focus on particular issues.
Harvest thanksgiving celebration
As Christians we worship God in whatever we do and wherever we are. But this act of 'public worship' that we do every Sunday has a special significance. It binds us together as a community of people who are one in purpose with each other, and indeed with Christians all over the world.
Worship reinforces our bond with God and this public worship strengthens our bonds with each other and inspires us to go out into the world to serve God by caring for each other and for His creation.
The children's talk
We encourage all ages to be involved in worship. There's a children's talk for the younger ones, although often the adults get as much out of this as they do from the sermon! There's plenty of singing, sometimes a drama and always some visual art to meditate on.
All are welcome
to join us.

times for when and where.
Liturgical arts
The liturgy is the framework for our worship; but we encourage the use of all forms of expression including music, art, drama and dance to give voice to our praise and to enrich our meditation. We have many talented, creative members, who are encouraged to offer their God-given talents to the service of our Lord.
Lutherans and worship

Worship is the focus of our life as a Christian community. Our first priority is to gather regularly to hear God’s Word, to receive the Sacraments, and to pray, praise and honour Him. In worship God comes to us in the Word and Sacraments and we respond in prayer and praise.
