We offer a variety of worship and events at Langham that cater for most ages and traditions. The main Sunday services on the Second and Fourth Sundays at 11:00 have a good liturgical structure with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
In the First Sunday Worship, Word, Response service we try to be imaginative and creative in the way we worship, hear and see the word and then respond in some way. Nothing new or revolutionary but helping us to discover or re-discover the beauty and joy of inspiring worship.
On the Third Sunday, Creative Church at 4:00pm explores a different a different theme, often seasonal, each month, including workshops, worship and tea, and is accessible to all age groups.
Children are very welcome and we try to involve them in worship, through readings, music and drama. We are happy to prepare children for first communion from age 7.
