    Come along to join us in the Office of Morning Prayer held in St Ben’s on Wednesdays at 9am. Morning Prayer is held on Tuesdays in St John’s at 9am. On Fridays, a Celtic style morning office, put together by our curate Kieron, is normally held in St Margaret’s Chapel, also at 9am, but not this week because it will be Good Friday.

    Holy Communion is held weekly in St Ben’s on Fridays at 10am, but because it is Good Friday this week, there will be no service on this day. The next Friday Communion is on 5th April.
