We hope you will experience God's peace, joy, and hope while worshipping with us. When you join us for worship, you will receive a user-friendly worship leaflet. Our liturgy is drawn primarily from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer; Enriching Our Worship 1 & 2; other approved worship resources from elsewhere within the Anglican Communion; as well as Eucharistic Prayers and Prayers of the People which correlate to the Revised Common Lectionary. We believe that the use of fresh language provides us the opportunity to broaden and deepen our relationship with God. Our music is drawn primarily from the Hymnal 1982; Wonder, Love, and Praise; Lift Every Voice and Sing II, and other approved hymnals. All materials are printed with permission using RiteSeries. Please note that our worship is live-streamed to YouTube.
The first half of our worship features readings from the Bible, a reflection from one of our preachers (which include three priests and nine lay preachers), prayers for the church and the world, and the passing of peace. The second half of our worship is a prayer of thanksgiving, referred to as "The Great Thanksgiving", where bread and wine are consecrated and then given to everyone who wishes to come forward and receive the bread and wine, or a blessing. The purpose of our worship is to offer God our praise and thanksgiving; to be spiritually fed and encouraged in the readings, reflections, prayers and breaking of the bread; and to be empowered to help transform the world through a life of service.
