Quiet, fairly traditional service of Holy Communion, using the language of the Book of Common Prayer on two Sundays a month.

An informal service (lasting about 45 minutes) for all ages together. On the third Sunday of the month, it will also include a simple celebration of Holy Communion.

Whilst maintaining the structure of a Church of England service, Hosanna! aims to encourage participation and be accessible to all, old or young, church background or none.

We use PowerPoint for songs, prayers and illustrations and incorporate drama and activities into the service.

A small group of musicians leads the singing, which anyone is welcome to get involved in. We practise each week for 30 minutes before the service. Please speak to Jim or Rachel if you are interested so that we can pass the music on to you before the service.

We do not have separate Sunday school, the children are encouraged to take part in the service. Our attendance award scheme gives badges and prizes to those who come often and bags with quiet toys are available at the back for those who wish to use them.

The service occasionally incorporates baptisms and 3 times a year the uniformed groups join us for Parade services.

A_traditional form of service with modern language and hymns. Holy Communion is celebrated every week except 3rd Sunday of month.

A monthly informal time of worship together with our band leading the music.

Often called an 'oasis of peace' in a busy week.
