Worship and Services in St Mary's church

The regularity of services and attendance has varied considerably over the years. At first, only evening services were held. Services of Holy Communion were held from 1903 onwards. A pattern of alternate Holy Communion and Morning or Evening Services then developed, with services being held weekly or fortnightly. During the 1970s, services in winter were held monthly in people's homes. During the last 15 years, there has been a gradual increase in the numbers of services held, and in the average numbers of people attending. The present pattern of services is:-

FIRST SUNDAY IN THE MONTH	11.15 am - Family Service
SECOND SUNDAY IN THE MONTH	4.00 pm (October to March), 5.30 pm (April to September) - Evensong
THIRD SUNDAY IN THE MONTH	11.15am - Holy Communion
FOURTH SUNDAY IN THE MONTH	No service at Newton
FIFTH SUNDAY IN THE MONTH	10.00 am - Combined 'Benefice' service for all churches in the Benefice, which includes the adjacent Parish of Rock and Rennington. This service is usually held at Embleton but may occur at any of the other four Benefice churches.

 

 

 

 

At Newton, coffee is served after morning services. You are welcome to join us for all services.

A service of Holy Communion is held at 10.00 am on Sundays at Embleton Parish Church, except
on the first Sunday when there is a 1662 Sung Evensong at 4pm (winter months) and 6pm (summer months)
and on the fifth Sunday when the Benefice service is being held elsewhere. (see above).
