worship @ st giles

We have a varied worship pattern and all are welcome at any of our services. Whilst we try to vary our style of worship in order to help folk from different traditions and of different encounter God in a way that is helpful for them, our main aim is to enable worship that helps all of us meet with the living God.

Every Wednesday 10.00am Holy Communion Service followed by refreshments.  A lively community of worshippers attend this service and all are welcome.

Every Sunday 8.30am Holy Communion – a said service, using the our combined Anglican and Methodist liturgy.

1ST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH

10am: Parade Service. This relaxed and informal service is for all ages, and we are joined by the uniformed groups and their families. Often the Band play for the worship.

2ND SUNDAY OF THE MONTH

10am: Holy Communion – usually a more traditional service, accompanied by the organ. There are groups for children of school age, and younger children are very welcome to stay in the service with their parents. We have a designated Children’s Area where there are activity sheets, and books to help keep them entertained.
