For anyone new to church services, these are celebrations where we gather together to express our Christian faith through music, prayer, Bible readings, reflections, and fellowship with those around us. At St Bride’s our liturgy (form of worship) is sometimes described as “high church” because it is full of rich language, music and ritual, accompanied by incense and bells. We are proud of our Anglo-Catholic tradition, but our worship is inclusive. It doesn’t matter if you don’t stand up or sit down at the same time as everyone else, or if you don’t feel comfortable making the sign of the cross. Just come and sit, watch and listen, sing and pray with us, and stay for refreshments and chat afterwards. The service booklet we use will also give you more explanations about what we do in our services and why.
Our hope is that everyone will leave our worship feeling renewed, and more able to face life’s joys and challenges with a greater awareness of God in our lives and in the people with whom we spend time. After any of our services, please introduce yourself to one of the Clergy, who will gladly arrange a time to meet and explore aspects of life at St Bride’s with you. See our Welcome page for details of current services.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
