Worship - All Age Services

All Age Mass for the Parish Family (Parade Service)

Christingle at St Matthew's

This monthly service is supported by our Uniformed Groups and their families who each parade their unit flag. It is usually our best attended regular act of worship.

Generally, this service takes place on the first Sunday of each month in term time. However, the service is occasionally displaced within the month due to our celebration of Mothering Sunday, the varying date of Easter, and to accommodate school term dates. The current programme of all age service dates for the year is set out below.

This less formal service is of approximately one hour's duration, and characterised by greater participation from the younger members of the community. It is accompanied by an easy-to-follow service booklet which contains all you need. Please see our facilities for those with very young children.

After the service, Café Guides provide extensive refreshments in church (in the summer months), and in the parish centre adjacent to the car park at the rear of the church (during the winter).

All are most welcome to attend this service and join us for worship together as a Parish Family.
