Service Pattern Changes with effect from 4th June 2023
Following on from recent Churchwarden and PCC meetings there are some changes to our monthly service pattern from 4th June.
The main changes to the current pattern are:
• 9:30am and 11am services will now be at 9:15 am and 11:15 am
• Greens Norton and Towcester will return to having a main Sunday Service weekly. These services will alternate between Communion and Lay-led. This means the introduction of a lay-led service called Service of the Word on 3rd Sunday in Towcester and 4th Sunday in Greens Norton.
• There will be only one 8am BCP Communion Service in the benefice and this will be at Greens Norton on the 3rd Sunday
• For the time being, there will be no 6pm Evening Prayer at Bradden
Below is a list of what services are happening each week and at which Church.
Should you have any questions please speak to me, the Ministry Team, your Churchwardens or PCC members.
With prayers and blessings
Revd Paula Challen
