Early Worship
Every Sunday at 9.00am
If you’re looking for a short but meaningful service with hymns, teaching and time for reflection, this service could be for you!
We use an authorised Church of England format, in modern language yet with traditional elements like the Lord’s Prayer, Confession and Gloria. Every second week there is a Eucharist. Alternately there is a Service of the Word.
The service lasts for 25-30 minutes with a relaxed atmosphere, suitable for families and those who want a simpler service than our Parish Mass at 10.30am.
We also run workshops aimed at our younger (and older!) members of the congregation at important church seasons like Advent and Lent. This gives us the opportunity to explore the stories and traditions of these seasons, do some craft work, and enjoy games and refreshments together.
If you would like more information, or to talk to one of the team who coordinates the Early Worship service, please contact Wendy in the All Saints Church Office
See below for Early Worship services happening in the next few weeks - we look forward to welcoming you very soon!

Early Worship Workshops 2022
Harvest Festival, 25th September
The Early Worship congregation's contribution to the ASC pop-up Food Point
Advent Sunday, 27th November
The Early Worship group spent time finding out more about the season of Advent, by making something beautiful to take home and having some social time with one another. The croissants and coffee are essential fuel for thinking, singing and making things and were much appreciated.
The group started with a reminder of the meaning of the season of Advent; a time of penance, reflection, preparation and waiting for Christmas. They moved onto an Advent song, complete with actions, to the tune of Edelweiss (more details available on request!!), and finished by creating ‘stained glass’ lanterns and Christmas decorations to take home. It was lovely to see people of different ages helping one another, making and deepening friendships and being creative together.
