We aim to provide a wide variety of services for parishioners and visitors alike - but slightly tweaked at the moment to combat Covid and while we wait for a new priest to be appointed:
Sunday Services:
8.00 am Holy Communion* - a traditional language service lasting about
40 minutes.
10.00 am Parish Eucharist - with our choir and a junior church, and a small area at the back of the church with books/crayons etc where parents can sit
with their younger children if they wish.
Service lasts for about an hour, followed by refreshments
6.30 pm Evensong- a smaller reflective service using the Book of Common Prayer and lasting about an hour.
*Gluten free communion wafers are available, please just ask when you come up to the altar rail.
Wednesday:
10.00 am Holy Communion*
Until further notice there will be no Morning Prayer but Evening Prayer Tuesday to Thursday:
5.00pm Evening Prayer
We also hold a 'First Steps' service for tots. For those of you with pre-school children we have a monthly tots service here at St Augustine's at 10:45am, with songs, craft activity, story and Jaffa cakes. This service generally falls on the 2nd Wednesday in the month. - could be restarting soon - watch this space!
