The Eucharist is the distinctive act of the Christian community. In it the scriptures are read and expounded and the central events of Jesus’ death and resurrection are re-presented in bread and wine. The service lasts about 45 minutes, finishing before the end of informal hall.

Compline is an atmospheric candlelit service for late evening. The services will take a variety of forms, each lasting about 15 minutes. The Choir will be singing the traditional service of Compline on 1 May and 12 June. Each service will be preceded by 30 minutes of silence, when people can sit together in the quiet Chapel.
Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer
Morning Prayer is said each weekday at 8.30 am and Evening Prayer is said at 6 pm (except on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Sunday Services
Sunday 6pm Evensong
Evensong is service of words – words sung, prayed, read and preached. It is the traditional service for evening and is led by the Choir. It includes a sermon, often given by a visitor to the College, designed to promote thoughtful reflection on the Christian Faith and the issues that it raises. The service is followed by drinks in C2, where there will be a chance to meet the preacher.
