Liturgy
The liturgical services are all sung and the chapel is open to all who wish
to participate in the worship. Retreatants, visitors and people living in the locality – of all denominations, faiths, and none, attend and there is a sizeable congregation at the daily Eucharist, with a capacity congregation on Sundays. Attendees say that they sense the welcome and know that their vocal contributions to reading the lessons and to the singing are valued. Orders of service are provided, and there are brief singing practices before services when new music is introduced. They enjoy the experience of singing together which adds to the sense of belonging to a worshipping community.
Worshippers at the Easter Vigil said “[We] love the Easter Vigil service, it is well worth the early rising” (the service starts at 4.30 am).
A retreatant wrote:
“It is such a privilege to be able to pray in your Chapel and participate in your Of ce [Services]; the atmosphere, the beauty and the harmony are conducive to prayer in a way I rarely experience.”
