Sunday Services

Our Main Sunday Gathering is at 9.30am.


​Our Aim
Each week we gather together with the aim of being renewed and refreshed by God's Spirit, and by the community, ready for the week ahead. We hope to encounter God through music, through prayer, through the scriptures, and through receiving Holy Communion. 

What to Expect
We use a service sheet which will navigate you through. We sing together - ancient hymns and modern tunes. We pray together - using beautiful words crafted and refined over the centuries. We hear stories from the bible and a short talk. And most weeks we share in bread and wine together. The type of service varies a little each week, but the pattern remains roughly the same. The service usually finishes about 10.30am and everyone is invited to stay for tea and cofee. 

There is carpeted creche area and a table for older children to do activities at. Some weeks the children go out to the purpose built 'barn'. 


The 8am Service
Some people prefer a quiet formal and traditional service. This service happens on 2nd and 4th Sundays. It is all said, and uses the Book of Common Prayer from 1662. Every service includes Holy Communion. It is all spoken. Is lasts about half an hour. The ancient language is wonderfully poetic, and for some, is their favourite way of meeting with God. 
Part of a wider family
​
Very occasionally (on 5th Sunday's) we meet together at another church as part of a wider group of Christians. Check out the facebook page, or posters round the village for up to date details. ​

Types of Service

The type of service varies a little week on week. The aim remains the same but we try to achieve it slightly different ways.
Most services are services of Holy Communion. But we also have a simpler 'Morning Worship' service and occasionally a service of 'Healing and Wholeness'

Tuesday Morning Prayer

A group also gathers in church every Tuesday at 9.30am to pray together.
We use a Church of England form of Morning Prayer, read the scriptures together, and pray for the needs of the community. 
​Everyone is welcome. 

Singing Group

We have a wonderful singing group that helps lead our music at church, and sings during communion. They help us as we seek to encounter God through song. They usually meet at Diana's house every 4th Thursday evening. Check out the church weekly bulletin for up to date information. Anyone is welcome to join. 

West Cambridge United Service

On the last Sunday before Advent starts (called Sunday of Christ the King) we meet together with hundreds of other Christians from churches across the whole area. We meet at Comberton Leisure centre to celebrate our unity and Christ's Kingship over us and this world.
