On the FOURTH Sunday the service is an ALL AGE SERVICE lead by our Children’s Leader, Lorna Taylor. This is an informal service suitable for families with younger children, and is usually around 45 minutes long.
-
When there is a FIFTH Sunday in the month, all three churches in the benefice - Crick, Lilbourne and Yelvertoft with Clay Coton, come together to share one service which also starts at 11.15am. The service is followed by lunch which everyone is welcome to share. To find out which church is hosting the service please go to the 'What's on?' page and check for upcoming events.
At every service, the choir leads the singing, accompanied by the organ. The clergy and members of the choir are normally robed. Members of the congregation contribute by reading from the scripture and leading the Prayers.
