with thoughtful preaching, good music, and the friendly atmosphere of a small church.

- These services bring together meditation and the sacrament of Holy Communion.

We hope that people will find the space here to encounter the Spirit of God.

- The Goth Eucharist
- This is an exciting new fortnightly service which seeks to find new ways of making the life of the Church meaningful to people from alternative, and particularly Goth communities. It takes place every alternate Tuesday at 8.30pm in the Clare Chapel of St. Edward's Church and anyone is welcome to attend. There is a detailed article, explaining the background and philosophy of the Goth Eucharist available HERE.
- A separate website for the service: www.thegotheucharist.org.uk has been set up.
