St Mary's Radcliffe on Trent

8.00 am Holy Communion

(about 45mins).  Quiet, traditional, structured service which is well attended.

10.00 am Sunday Services

More informal services with a mix of music styles. All ages start together in church with younger members leaving after about 15 minutes (except on Worship for All! Sundays) for their own activities. The service is followed by coffee and tea and an opportunity to chat.

Worship For All! (about 50mins) - for all ages, with younger members playing an active part.

Morning Service (about 1hr) - hymns, readings, a sermon, and prayers.  We listen to what God is saying to us and respond appropriately.

Holy Communion (about 1hr 20 mins) - hymns, readings, a sermon, and prayers, with the added ingredient of sharing in the symbolic fellowship-meal which Jesus gave to his followers to do in memory of him.  We share bread and wine which symbolise his body given for us, and his blood shed for us, on the cross.  How great his love is for us!  Don't worry if you do not receive the bread and wine - you won't be the only one.

6.30 pm Services

These vary greatly in style!  At Evening Prayer we use the 1662 Book of Common Prayer with its beautiful Tudor English.  On the other Sundays the services are much more contemporary and informal.  On the first and fourth Sundays of the month we worship with our friends the Methodist Church, either at St Mary's or at the Methodist Church.

Thursday Communion

For those who prefer a quieter, traditional service. Common Worship with hymns. Lasts about 1 hour.
Coffee and tea available afterwards
