Regular Services

A creche (with full audio) is available at all services in St Alban’s.
| Time | Day | Service | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8am | Every Sunday | Holy Communion | St Alban’s | A quiet, spoken communion service |
| 10:15am | Every Sunday | Family Communion/Service | St Alban’s | The large, ecumenical family service, followed by coffee in the hall. 2nd Sunday of the month is instead a non-communion family service, allowing for more experimental styles of worship. |
| 9:15 | 1st Sunday | Dawn Chorus | WP Methodist | A lively and entertaining introduction to the church for the very young. Highly recommended! |
| 6:30pm | 1st Sunday | Choral Evensong | St Alban’s | A classical, choir-led evensong. Let the music lead your worship. |
| 11:30am | 2nd Sunday | Choral Eucharist | St Alban’s | A traditional, choir-led morning prayer, just after the larger service. |
| 11:15am | 2nd Tuesday | Story Box | WP Methodist | A simple story time for the under-fives. 11:15 for babies and toddlers, 11:30 for preschool children. |
| 3.30pm-6m | 3rd Wednesday | Messy Church | WP Methodist | Ever thought that Church was too neat and ordered? This is the antidote. Aimed at primary-age children, but very popular with all ages. |
Choir practice is on Friday nights (junior choir, senior choir and adults).
