Welcome to our Home page!
Our 11am service on the 3rd Sunday each month will be held at Hardwicke Parochial Primary academy, Poplar Way, Hardwicke, GL2 4QG. This is suitable for all ages and has modern songs. It's not a Communion service. (HOWEVER on 18 Feb 2024 the service will be held in the church)
Other Sunday services continue as usual in the Church at 11am. The first Sunday each month is "Simply worship" - a simple Holy Communion with modern songs. The 2nd and 4th Sundays we hold a more formal Holy Communion with more traditional hymns.
On any 5th Sunday we have an all-age service, at one of our Benefice Churches - details on our noticesheet. Unless it's Easter Day as it is on March 31 2024! - we'll have an 11am Holy communion service in Church.
On Wednesdays we hold a simple said Holy Communion service in the Church at 9.30am. Except on the 3rd Wednesday each month when it is held at 10.30am at St Nicholas Court, Cornfield Drive.
