Parish Community

Our services offer choice and a warm welcome to everyone

All three churches hold a regular Sunday Service, with St Paul’s offering a traditional Sung Eucharist including priests in vestments, choir, organ, servers, bells and smells. Hymns are usually from the Revised English Hymnal. On most Sundays the choir will also sing an Anthem. The Service is live streamed via YouTube. Apart from the regular 9:30 service, St Paul’s also provides an 8:00 BCP Mass on two Sundays in the month, and Choral Evensong with sermon once a month at 6:15pm. The church remains open every day for private prayer.

Woosehill provides a mix of Anglican and Methodist worship, all instantly recognised as ‘The Woosehill Service’. Sunday services are held at 10:00am. Each month there are usually two communion services, one Anglican and the other Methodist, and 2 other Methodist led services. When there is a fifth Sunday in the month there is normally a Café Church. Currently music is provided either with recordings or the services of a guest pianist, but the congregation are hoping for a new music group to be formed to accompany the singing

St Nick’s Sunday service, held in the Emmbrook Village Hall at 11:00am , is usually a sung Mass with a less formal Catholic style than at St Paul’s. The music for the hymns is either played on an electronic organ, piano or recorded. We are exploring holding an alternative service, such as Café Church or Taizé. On special occasions, such as Mothering Sunday, the congregation from St Nick’s join St Paul’s. Every Wednesday morning there is worship and prayer in a home in Emmbrook; on the second Wednesday of the month this is a Mass.
