Worship

St Peter’s is an Anglican liturgical church, and we worship God using the various services contained within the Church of Ireland’s Book of Common Prayer. You can watch our most recently broadcast act of worship above. For our archive of broadcast services on Youtube, please click here.

Our services usually last for one hour, and typically include hymns, prayers, Bible readings, and a sermon. We also celebrate Holy Communion twice a month on Sundays, and every Wednesday.

There is no dress code, and there is a collection box at the door for receiving monetary offerings before or after the service. There are two Wardens at the back of the church who will welcome and assist you if you have any questions.

Children of any age are always welcome. We have a Sunday School for primary-school aged children during the 10:30am Sunday service.

At 10:30am on Sundays, the form of service varies according to which Sunday of the month it is.
1st Sunday – Holy Communion (Form Two)
2nd Sunday – Family Service / Morning Prayer (Form Two)
3rd Sunday – Holy Communion (Form Two)
4th Sunday – Morning Prayer (Form Two)
5th Sunday – Service of the Word / Healing Service

Occasionally we will need to deviate from the rota, but the above is a useful guide.

At 3:30pm on the second Sunday of each month (except during January, July, and August), there is also a service of Choral Evensong (Form One),

At 10:30am on Wednesdays there is a celebration of Holy Communion (Form Two), with the exception of the last Wednesday of each month, when we celebrate Holy Communion (Form One) instead.

Note that Form One is in Middle English (thee, thy, thou, etc) and Form Two is in Modern English. Except during July and August, a robed choir leads our praise at the 10:30am Sunday services.
