The great thing about Christ Church is its ability to cater for both traditional and modern styles of worship by following a varied pattern of worship, our weekly Sunday services normally follow this pattern:

1st Sunday of the Month
11am - Family Eucharist: Children are present for a song and a brief word at the beginning of the service (a children’s time). They would then go to JC and come back for a blessing during communion. They would be asked about their work after communion. The music will be both traditional & modern and styles will be blended accordingly.
2nd Sunday of the Month
8.30am - Holy Communion
11am - Matins, children would not be present in this service. Space will be made at the beginning of the service for reflection and quiet prayer. The music and liturgy for this service will be traditional.
3rd Sunday of the Month
8.30am - Holy Communion
11am - Family Service, this will usually be themed with a separate service sheet, it may or not may not follow the lectionary, children will be present and songs, hymns and the talk will be aimed at being child friendly.
4th Sunday of the Month –
This would be Common Worship and would have traditional hymns, choir and organ. Children would not be present and would have their own worship time in J Church.
5th Sunday of the Month -
When there is a fifth Sunday in the month we join with St Thomas' of Thurstanland and St Andrew's of Thongsbridge, please check the parish magazine or the Events page for where the joint service is to be held.

Our Sunday Evening services are normally held at Harvest, Easter, Lent, in November, during Advent and on the Junior Church Anniversary. Details can be found in the parish magazine or on the Events page.
