Sundays
8.00 am Said Holy Communion
A simple Communion Service, an opportunity to receive Communion or to have a blessing. The 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is used on the second Sunday of the month.
10.00 am Sung Parish Communion
A service most Sunday mornings with hymns, Bible readings, prayers, a short talk and also an invitation to receive Communion or a blessing . Children’s Church runs at the same time. Sometimes it’s a Family Communion (see below) Refreshments are served afterwards in the hall.
10.00 am Sunday Morning with St Peter’s
On the third Sunday of the month, a more informal mix of words, music and reflections rather than traditional parish communion. Children’s Church runs at the same time. It is followed by refreshments in the hall.
10.00 am Children’s Church
Every week
Children’s Church is a fun way to learn more about God, for all school-age children, during the 10am weekly Sunday service. Children meet in church, then share their own session with Beth and Tamsin in the hall whilst parents stay in the church service. Each week we focus on a different theme; together we learn, craft, play, sing and pray! Then it’s back into church to join the rest of the church family. Children’s Church is every week – unless it’s Family Communion, in which case come anyway!!
10.00 am Family Communion
Every so often – check for dates
A short relaxed service for the whole church family, based round child-friendly words, music and involvement, and ending with an opportunity to share in Communion. Check What’s On or follow the C.a.f.e Facebook page for dates.
4.00 pm Messy Church
Monthly, check for dates
Messy Church is a different kind of church, informal and especially suitable for families. It includes activity-based time, food, songs and most importantly fun! It normally runs once a month in the hall or on the field on a Sunday afternoon, follow the C.a.f.e Facebook page to stay in touch. Messy Church is supported by all the churches in Addingham.

Special Services
Special Services
These take place to celebrate specific events in the life of the church, sometimes inside the church building and sometimes in our extensive church field. For example, we hold carol services at Christmas, reflective services on Good Friday, a community Remembrance Day service, a traditional Harvest Festival and so on. More details of these and other special services at St Peter’s are available closer to each event from the ‘What’s On’ page.
We also host and share services and events with Addingham Churches Together (ACT); a warm welcome awaits you in all the churches in our village.
