Diocese of Peterborough
At 10am on the first Sunday in the month we have two services running parallel.
In the church extension we hold an informal celebration in a relaxed and contemporary style - especially catering for the needs of children and those who bring them. The congregation includes the Guides and Brownies, the recently baptised and those seeking baptism for their children. The celebration often involves raps and sketches performed by a variety of youngsters including some members of the congregation. The music is lively and is often supported by young instrumentalists
In church, the service is traditional with an adult-focused sermon.
At the Peace the extension and church congregations come together in the church
for the Eucharistic Prayer (our own musical version with sung congregational responses). Young children gather round the nave altar holding candles during this prayer. Towards the end of the service, the recently baptised are welcomed by the whole congregation.
