Sixth Sunday after Trinity

WELCOME! A special welcome if you are visiting, or a newcomer.

Please do speak to a sides-person or one of the clergy after the service so we can greet you more personally!

You are invited to receive communion with us. If you would prefer a prayer of blessing, please bring a book with you.

If you would like to receive communion in your pew please let a sides-person know before we begin.

Should you wish to support the church financially there are gift aid envelopes, or alternatively you may prefer to give to the collection during the offertory hymn. The money goes towards the work of the Parish. 5% of this collection will support other Christian charities.

Creator God,
you made us all in your image:
may we discern you in all that we see,
and serve you in all that we do;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
