Sunday services - Weekday services Sunday services Our main service is at 10am each Sunday. It is a Eucharist (communion) service using modern language, with a mixture of traditional hymns and well-known choruses. After the service there is a chance to chat over coffee at the back of church. On the first Sunday of the month, it is a service for the whole Church family. On the fifth Sunday of the month, we have an all-age 'commentary communion' service, which looks at different aspects of the Eucharist in a way that everyone can understand.
