Worship

We aim to be a modern – traditional church. St Paul’s offers Common Worship Holy Communion every Sunday of the month. There are two services at the Fell Church each month, following the Book of Common Prayer – Matins on the 2nd Sunday and Holy Communion on the 4th.

“Knowing Jesus is the best gift any person can receive.

That we have encountered him is the best thing that can happen in our lives.
Making him known through our words and deeds is our greatest joy” Pope Francis

The community worships regularly in both St Paul’s and the Fell Churches.  St Paul’s is open each day for visitors and/or private meditation.  Morning & Evening Prayer is said in Church Monday to Wednesday at 8.30am and 5.00pm respectively. (Variations in the time and pattern will be on the weekly sheet.) You are very welcome to join in these Prayers at the beginning and ending of the day.

A prayer tree is available for you to enter names, which are mentioned in the intercessions at main services.  Copies of this week’s Pew Sheet and Readings can be found in the What’s On section.
