During the month of August the Eucharist will be celebrated at 11AM each Sunday.

PRAY AS YOU GO

A short (11-12 minutes) daily act of prayer and worship, available online or as a tablet and smartphone app (search for “pray as you go” in your app store and look for the headphone logo). This easy to use, beautifully produced site uses music and pictures to help you pray and reflect with a passage of Scripture. Follows the Roman Catholic calendar, but widely used by Christians of all traditions. There are also special seasonal meditations.

AN ORDINARY OFFICE

“An Ordinary Office” is designed to be very accessible (you can follow it through text, symbol, audio, or video – Dave Lucas, blind man ). Easy to pray if you’re unwell or very tired. Morning, midday, and evening prayer, plus “nocturnes” for those who can’t sleep.
