Praying - led by the rector.

Intersessions - Often in our worship, we are led in prayer by others which is called Intersessions. They lead us in prayer for the needs of the Church and the world, and for all who are in need.

Holy Communion - This where Christians and are given bread wafers and wine to commemorate the last supper. You are also welcome to go up to altar for a blessing.
