| All
services at St Saviour's are based on the new Anglican prayer book,
Common Worship. We use modern language but retain the traditions of
the Anglican curch with robed Priest and choir. Our music too is recognisably traditional, we sing hymns well known for generations along with more modern songs. Mostly our singing is led by our fine pipe organ, but on the first Sunday of the month we enjoy the playing of our all age music group. At St Saviour's we pride ourselves on the sincerity of our welcome towards visitors and newcomers, but always realise that everyone has the right to come into church and be left in peace. |
