We normally have two categories of service which are the communion service and the matins.

Communion is the service where one of the priests will be celebrated. We call the person the celebrant. In that service holy eucharistic is shared in remembrance of our Lord Jesus Christ as directed or commanded by Him in the bible.

The matins is a canonical hour in Christian liturgy, Only confirmed congregants are liable to receive the holy eucharistic after being confirmed by the Lord Bishop of Anglican communion.

Also, we annually remember our loved ones who have passed into eternal rest on All Souls Day; this comes up on the first Sunday of November.

The church has her Watchnight Service on the 31st of December every year and is one of the best in the diocese.

There are liturgical colours of robes worn based on the days

  • Advent = purple colour

  • Trinity = Green colour

  • Pentecostal= white colour
