Parish Mass
St Mary’s, Stanwell
A sung celebration of the Eucharist
Evensong & Benediction
St Matthew’s, Ashford
Prayer, music, stillness and adoration
What happens at Mass?
The Mass is where the Church gathers around Word and Sacrament. We listen to Scripture, pray for the Church and the world, offer bread and wine, and share in Holy Communion.
It is not a performance watched from a distance. Priest, readers, musicians, servers and congregation each have their part, and together we take part in Christ’s offering of love.
If you are unfamiliar with the service, there is no need to worry. Follow the service sheet, sit or stand as you feel able, and allow the words, music and silence to carry you.
Evensong & Benediction
Evensong belongs to the Church’s daily rhythm of prayer. Psalms, readings, hymns and canticles help us place the day into God’s hands.
In Benediction we remain in prayer before Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament. We do not receive Communion during this devotion; instead, we are invited into stillness, adoration and blessing.
No previous experience is needed. You may join in, or simply listen and pray.
