HOLY COMMUNION

Holy Communion is a fairly traditional and relaxed Service. There is Bible based preaching leading to the celebration of communion. We gather at the Lord’s table to remember, celebrate and encounter the living Lord by faith and with thanksgiving as we receive the bread and wine. St Mary’s has an open communion table. All practising Christians of any denomination are welcome to share in Holy Communion with us.

INFORMAL COMMUNION

Informal Communion is a service using contemporary forms of worship lead by our worship team. The Bible is explored and applied through preaching and use of multimedia. Members of the congregation sometimes share their experience and tell their stories of how they came to faith and the difference Jesus has made in their lives. Prayer is creative and informed by what is happening in the world around us. This service also includes communion.
