The "Storyteller Eucharist"
We use the "Storyteller" Eucharist on the 2nd Sunday of the month at Hardwicke and 4th Sunday of the month at Longney.This service is especially suitable for families and children.
At the "Storyteller" Service there is usually a Gospel Story especially for the youngsters and the prayers often include the anniversary of Baptism for our youngsters during which their Baptism Candle is relit and we pray for them. The youngsters are welcome at the Altar for a blessing and our Junior Choir sing during the service.
Tea, coffee and biscuits follow our service so that we can chat before leaving Church. If you don't attend Church or its been a long time since you came along, try the "Storyteller" Service. We would love to see you.
The "Simply Worship" Eucharist at Hardwicke
On the 4th Sunday of the month our worship is more reflective and devotional, we sing contemporary worship songs, listen to scripture and unpack its meaning in interactive and reflective ways and share the eucharistic bread and wine.
We have in the past used Taize and Celtic music influences in this service and will also be using the insights of Lectio Divina to access the scripture. This service is evolving into something special which attempts to touch the heart and mind as we worship using our senses and our spirits in service of the Lord.
Sunday Services and Midweek Services
Come and join us one Sunday at Hardwicke, Elmore or Longney.
Our morning services are the best place to begin, especially if you are
new to the life of the Church.
The Eucharist is the main service of the day. The word "Eucharist" means "thanksgiving". It is the time when we sing hymns, hear the Bible read and explained, and offer our prayers to the Lord. In this service we also receive the bread and wine as Jesus asked his friends to do.
Evensong is a service of hymns, readings and prayers using the 1662 Prayer Book (in traditional language).
