A meditation based on Isaiah 40-55 led by Reverend Trevor Stubbs

Welcome to our online service of Compline, a time to reflect at the start of Holy Week 2022.

Our service is led by Reverend Karen Spray with music by Tricia Rees-Jones who also produced the service.

Adrian Moore and Mary Cookson lead an online service for Epiphany and the New Year. It follows a Celtic Liturgy and has appropriate readings and music.

Adrian serves up a Christmas Feast of carols, seasonal readings and music plus a special news report on the birth of a new King 'live' from Bethlehem!

Welcome to our online service of Evensong for the Feast of All Souls.  Our service is led by Brian de Looze, Joanna Brown reads the lessons, Elaine Avery leads the intercessions and Derek Griffin is our Cantor.  The preces and responses are sung by the remotely-recorded Parish choir and the remaining musical elements of the service are performed by Tricia Rees-Jones who was also the producer.

It is traditional at this service to remember those who are dear to us but who have departed this life.  The service includes a Prayer by John Donne and the anthem 'I know that my Redeemer liveth' from Handel's Messiah and you are invited to use that time to reflect and remember those who rejoice with us, but upon another shore and in a greater light.
