- be resident in the parish OR
- have habitually attended public worship in the parish during the last six months

worship and pattern of services
- Following the comments and suggestions from the GAP3 open meeting and subsequent article in the December Magazine, we are now introducing some changes to the pattern of our services, mainly affecting the 10am services on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.
- You will notice that we are now using the black Common Worship book at all of our regular services. For the celebration of Holy Communion, we are continuing to alternate between the contemporary Order 1 (which we used to refer to as “Common Worship”) and the traditional Order 2 (Book of Common Prayer) forms of service which are now authorised.
