Sunday mornings

Worship is at the heart of all that we do. Our regular Sunday worship is at 10.30am, though occasionally there are services at other times. As is traditional in Methodism, our services are led by a variety of preachers, both lay and ordained, mostly from the Oxford Circuit, though occasionally from further afield. The preachers for the current quarter are listed below. We aim to offer a variety of worship experiences from the traditional to the innovative, from quiet communions to celebratory chaos. The worship area has chairs to allow flexibility of use and we now have a full range of audio-visual facilities which are used regularly to enhance our worship.

The first part of our Sunday morning worship is always intended for all ages. The children usually leave for their own activities after about twenty minutes. About once every six weeks, the whole service will be a time of all age worship. About once a month, the morning service will include Holy Communion. In addition, we have an early morning communion at 8.30am on the first Sunday of every other month. This tends to be a quiet affair, with time for space and reflection.

If you are joining us to lead worship, helpful information for visiting preachers can be found here.
