Church
Services at St Mary’s
|
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.
We
have services at 8 am, 10 am and 6:30 pm.
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.
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.
