The pattern of Worship in Eridge Church
Open for private prayer from approximately 9.30am until 5.30pm every day. (Slightly later opening on Sunday)

First Sunday of each month
11.15 am Holy Communion
A celebration of the Eucharist. *
There is no organist at this service, but we have recorded music to accompany the service and to lead us in singing which is played through the sound system
*A note on the language we use.
Holy Communion, which is also called the Eucharist, Mass or the Lord's Supper, is a service we have in common with almost all Christians.
Christians don't say that they 'do' or 'carry out' the Eucharist; they celebrate it.
This service is a re-enactment of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest, and eventual crucifixion.
At the meal Jesus ate bread and wine and instructed his disciples to do the same in memory of him.
Second Sunday of each month
11.15 am Morning Prayer
A service of prayer, readings from the bible, preaching and hymn singing - using the liturgy from Common Worship.
