At the heart of life is our worship of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God’s presence through our worship nourishes our lives, draws together our community, and challenges to go out and be of service in both the mundane and the extraordinary situations of the everyday. We would be delighted if you could join us …

Details of services can be found on the notice boards outside the Abbey and in the entrance porch, the Slype.
Communicant members of all Christian Churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion.
After service refreshments: Parish Breakfast is served in the Monastic Workshop, following 8:30 am Holy Communion service. Tea, coffee and juice is served in the South Transept following the 10:00 am Service.
We hope you will be able to join us and introduce yourselves if you are new to Hexham or on holiday.
Home Communions: If possible, Clergy and Lay Eucharistic Ministers will arrange to make a home visit once a month to bring Communion to those unable to attend a service in the Abbey. Please contact the Parish Office if this would be of help to you.
New to the Parish: If you are new to the Parish, please ask one of the Sidespersons for an address card so that you can be added to our parish list and invite you to one of our regular events for new members. If you are visiting the Abbey, we hope you will enjoy your time with us. Please make yourself known, either to the Clergy or to a Church Warden.
