Today the church bell will be tolled at 12noon and Rev’d Tim will be in church to lead a simple time of prayer and reflection as we mourn the loss of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
This is in addition to our church continuing to be open every day during daylight hours for anyone who wants to take a moment of stillness, and our regular Morning Prayer at 8:30am and Evening Prayer at 4pm which continue every weekday. There will be a special focus on prayers for The Queen, the Royal Family and the new King at these regular services as well.

A prayer

We share this prayer for all who want to say it with us:

Dear Lord and Father, receive your servant, our Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, into your heavenly kingdom. May she rest peacefully with you, her earthly duty and work complete. Thank you for everything she has done and meant to her subjects all over the world. We ask you to bless her family and friends with comfort in their grief, that they would know you are close to them always. In the Name of Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, Amen.
