Worship

Our Worship

Worship is the most important activity of the Christian Community. All the other things we do as Christians spill out from this. You can find out more about our worship styles here. You will be very welcome at any of these services. At St Anne’s we aim to provide, over the month, a rich tapestry of worship, from the formal and traditional to relaxed and children/young family orientated. 

Our worship feeds deeply from the well of Anglicanism. Central to the Christian life is feeding on Christ, in word and sacrament and then living out the Christ-like life in the world. The rhythm of our worship draws us in to ponder the mystery of God’s love for us in Christ and empowers us to serve him in our daily lives, at home, at work, at play.

About our services

  • We use the Book of Common Prayer at 8.00am and 6.00pm on the first Sunday of the Month.
  • The other 8.00am services use traditional language (thee and thy).
  • Our 10.30am Eucharist uses modern language and a wide musical repertoire, supported by the organ, our wonderful choir and the music group.
  • On the First Sunday of each month we have a Healing Ministry as part of the Eucharist. 
  • On the Second Sunday of each month, we have an All Age Eucharist at which children are welcome - there is no Sunday School that day - and we welcome those who have been baptised the previous month. If you want to ask about baptism, this is the service to come to.
  • During term time, the Prayer Book Evening Prayer service is sung with a setting of the canticles.
  • On the Third Sunday of each month the evening service takes the form of Cafe Church. We sit around tables, drink and eat nibble and engage with a variety of issues from a Christian perspective.

Servers

St Anne's is a liturgical Church. Our worship draws from the great historic tradition of the Church in the West. Our clergy wear vestments and they are helped, not only by the choir in their singing, but by servers who help with the sacred vessels and minister at the altar.

We are always on the look for new for men and women, and youngsters, too, in this ministry. For more information, phone 0161 969 3167
