As you scroll down this page you will see the coming Sunday’s Service details and if you scroll down further you’ll see our usual service pattern. For more information on weekday services and events please visit our latest news posts to view our weekly newsletter.
All are welcome to any/all of our services. You don’t need to have been to church before or know when to stand or sit. When we have hymns you are welcome to join in or simply listen. We don’t force you to sing. We have also stopped inviting people to stand or sit but leave the decision up to what you are most comfortable doing. You can sit (or stand) through the whole service if that is what you would like to do. We are informal in our worship style so if you wanted to ask why we are doing something in the service then feel free to ask.
Sunday 11th January 2026 – Baptism of Christ
9am Book of Common Prayer Communion at St Andrew’s Church, Lower Bemerton. A said traditional English language service using the Book of Common Prayer. The service lasts around 45 minutes.
10:30am Eucharist at St Michael’s Community Centre Main Hall, Bemerton Heath. A service using modern English which lasts around 60 to 70 minutes. We have four hymns during the service and some other singing but you don’t have to join the singing if you would prefer not to. This week we will Dolly will be Baptised during the service.
We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.
We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
