On The Edge is a Eucharist with a difference, and is held on alternate Wednesdays at St Edward King and Martyr, Cambridge. It uses contemporary secular music to bring edgy subjects together with Christian worship.
On The Edge has evolved from the Goth Eucharist and retains the flavour of that service, while covering a broader programme. It is On the Edge because it is for people who are on the edge of church, and often on the edge of society too, people whose lives are often difficult and edgy. We can all feel like that sometimes.
We use edgy music and one of the key things is to make the service become your space.
Find out more, or just check the diary below and we'll see you then! It's a Christian service but many come who wouldn't call themselves Christians. All are welcome.
We can be found just behind the market square, on St Edward's Passage, off Peas Hill (by Indigo's).
