St Edward King and Martyr

Service times

This page contains fairly brief descriptions and the times of the services that regularly occur at St Edward's.

Regular Services
Prayer Book Services: The 1662 Book of Common Prayer is still used at many of our services, though we try to use it in an imaginative way. We hope that you will find that our services combine calm, dignified worship with thoughtful preaching, good music, and the friendly atmosphere of a small church.
Sundays: 8am Prayer Book Holy Communion
Sundays: 11am Prayer Book Mattins(2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays). Communion is celebrated on the third Sunday in the month.
Friday: 10:30am Prayer Book Holy Communion
Meditative services: These services bring together meditation and the sacrament of Holy Communion. They combine silence, incense, and a rich mixture of traditional and modern words and music, including chants from Taize and words and songs from Iona. We hope that people will find the space here to encounter the Spirit of God.

Sundays: 5pm Meditative Eucharist

Friday: 5:30pm Christian Meditation
The Goth Eucharist: This is an exciting monthly 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 month on a 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.
