Congregations gather for worship in each of our churches on almost every Sunday of the year.
There is a celebration of Holy Communion at 9.30 am on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at St Nicholas’, North Bradley; and at 11 am on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at St Thomas’, Southwick. Holy Communion is celebrated at St Mary’s, Steeple Ashton at 11 am on the first Sunday of the month and at 8 am on the 4th Sunday of the month. On any fifth Sunday (i.e. four times a year) there is a single celebration of Holy Communion at which congregations from both parishes gather together for a Benefice service.
At St Nicholas’ and St Thomas’ we use Common Worship, Order One, (contemporary language) for all celebrations of Holy Communion.
For Holy Communion at St Mary’s we use Common Worship, Order One (contemporary language) on the first Sunday; and the Prayer Book for the shorter, said, service Holy Communion on the fourth Sunday.
All the above services usually last about an hour and include hymns and a sermon.
Each of our churches holds an informal Sunday morning Family service once a month. (For further details see Children/Young People.)
On the first Sunday of each month at St Mary’s from April to October there is a traditional service of Prayer Book Evensong with a sermon and robed choir.
Please see the weekly Pew News or Home Page for times of forthcoming services and any other details.
