Regular Services
The Eucharist
Also known as Holy Communion or the Mass, the Eucharist service forms the heart of our Christian fellowship, where we gather around the Lord’s Table to celebrate the mystery of redemption in Christ’s sacrifice and rising from the dead.
Offenham uses the Common Worship services in modern language, but if you prefer a more traditional language service this can be found at Cleeve Prior
