WORSHIP COMMITTEE

The work of the worship committee is to:

• take an overall view of the worship offered in the parish, looking at the balance of services held throughout the year;
• to review the worship, highlighting strengths and suggesting improvements where necessary;
• to serve in an advisory capacity to the PCC in terms of liturgical developments and service patterns.

Its members include those who are regularly involved in the conduct and leadership of worship across the parish and its composition also reflects the three worship centres in the parish.
