FORMS OF WORSHIP USED IN OUR CHURCHES

The Book of Common Prayer

The services of Holy Communion and Evening Prayer are regularly used each week throughout the year. Morning Prayer is occasionally used at times when a priest is not available to celebrate at the Eucharist.

The times when BCP is used is shown within the details for each church. Please click on the appropriate link for further details.

Common Worship

Authorisation for the use of The Alternative Services Book (1980) terminated in the year 2000 and has been replaced with Common Worship. The main Eucharistic Service at Christ Church each Sunday will normally be from Common Worship with a shortened form being used for occasional Seasonal Services during Lent and Advent and to celebrate the Ascension.
