Church Services at St Mary’s

 

Services to Suit All Tastes

We are a diverse group of people at St Mary’s, but share a common love for God. Our services reflect that diversity, covering a wide range of church traditions.

Sunday Services

We have services at 8 am, 10 am and 6:30 pm.

Sunday 8 o’clock

This is a quiet, traditional Book of Common Prayer (“prayer book”) communion service. A group of about 20 people meet around the Lord’s Table and hear the Word of God.

Sunday 10 o’clock

The style of the 10 o’clock services varies according to the Sunday in the month. But at each one you will get a friendly welcome and we hope will have a real sense of the love of God in the church.

About 130 adults and 40 children come to the 10 o’clock service. Children and youth normally start in the church, and then go out to their own activities in Junior Church. For the Church Family Service the children and youth stay in the church.
