Church Together

Church Together takes place every Sunday morning (except the first in the month), at 10.45 am, at St Mary's, Church Road.

It's a service for all ages to be truly 'church together' – from the youngest child to the oldest adult!

What happens?

Refreshments together – 15 minutes.
Opening worship together – 20 minutes. Songs, prayer, Bible passage.
Explore together – 20 minutes. A choice of zones around the church to think more about the Bible passage for the day. Busy Zone, Chat Zone, Colour Zone, Listen Zone, Quiet Zone – there’s something for everyone to enjoy and take part in!
Respond together – 20 minutes. Songs, prayers, communion (on third Sunday of the month), sometimes a christening / baptism.
Further refreshments and chat together – if you want to stay a bit longer!

Here are some comments from members of our church family:

'Our Church Together is where young and old worship and interact with each other so well. It is a truly joyous and informal time, and I love the way the young are encouraged to participate in the service. I also like the way God’s word is delivered, so that it is easily understood by young and old and relates to what is going on in the world today.'

'Church Together is brilliant! It’s a really innovative approach to a church service, quite literally providing something for everyone. Coming to church with a little baby is so much better than I had anticipated: I was quite nervous at first about how noisy she might be, but everyone was so welcoming, and nobody minds when my daughter shouts or cries!'

'Church Together at St Mary's has been so perfect for us as a family... hands on ways to connect with God and his family and go deeper in faith for those of us that struggle to sit still for long!'

You are very welcome to come and try out Church Together. Whatever your age, interests or preferences, there’s something for you!
