SUNDAY SERVICES
Our main service each Sunday is at 10:00 am.
| 1st Sunday of each month | 10:00 am | Holy Communion, with Junior Church groups for young people*. |
| 2nd Sunday of each month | 10:00 am | Holy Communion, with Junior Church groups for young people*. |
| 3rd Sunday of each month | 9:00 am | Holy Communion. |
| 10:00 am | A Service of the Word - A more informal Service, without Communion. Baptisms** usually take place at this Service. | |

| 5th Sunday of each month (if there is one) | 10:00 am | Holy Communion, with Junior Church groups for young people*. |
*Our young people's groups - Junior Church - cover ages up to 14 years, with a crèche for the very young. They meet in school term time and are normally closed during school holidays, including half term. When the Junior Church groups do not meet the main 10:00am Holy Communion Service may include an activity or talk for the younger people. Please note that, in line with our Safeguarding Policies, all adults who teach or assist with Junior Church groups have been subject to CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) clearance. Visit the Safeguarding Policies page to find out more. New helpers who have not yet received clearance, or others whose clearance needs to be renewed, are not permitted to have any Junior Church involvement until clearance is received.
**To arrange a Baptism please contact the vicar. Meetings for those wishing to bring their children for Baptism are held from time to time, usually subject to demand. Please contact the vicar to arrange to attend.
***Prayer Ministry is an integral part of the ministry offered at Immanuel and St Andrew. You are invited to receive prayer in the context of Holy Communion on the fourth Sunday of each month. This is an opportunity to ask one or two other members of the Church to pray with you about something that concerns you - which may be an issue such as healing or a personal problem but not necessarily. Prayer ministers, either one person or two ministering together, will be seated in our hall just beyond the screen from the beginning of the Administration of Communion. You are invited to seek them out after you have received Communion or God’s Blessing. If someone is already being prayed with when you get there you will find a row of seats so that you can sit and wait until they have finished. Anyone is welcome to ask for and receive prayer ministry - you do not have to be a regular member of the congregation or a committed Christian.
There is no regular Sunday Evening Service.

WEEKDAY SERVICES
'Start the Day Right'. Based around traditional Morning Prayer, 'Start the Day Right' offers 20 minutes or so of peace and quiet at the beginning of the day to stop and reflect on the needs of the world and the day ahead. It normally takes place on weekday mornings Monday to Thursday (excluding Bank Holidays, etc) at 9:00am in the Church. Everyone is welcome. It is timed for parents dropping children off at school.
To arrange a Wedding or a Funeral, please contact the vicar.
Additional Weekday Services are normally arranged on or around Principal Feasts, Holy Days, some Festivals and other special occasions - e.g., at Christmas and Easter. See the Diary and News and notices pages and our weekly news and notice sheet OPEN DOOR, available at the Church and downloadable from the Diary page, for details.

We welcome offers of help to serve the refreshments and any member willing to be on the rota is asked to contact either Win Fuller or a churchwarden.
