There are services at Great St Mary's almost every day of the year. Most of these are in St Andrew's Chapel at the north east corner of the church. They are quiet, meditative occasions and form the heart of our common life. Some people come regularly, and some drop in occasionally. They are brief but valuable times of peace in a busy week. Students are especially welcome at the 1.05 p.m. Eucharist on Fridays after which we eat lunch together.
The main Sunday Service is the Parish Eucharist, after which coffee is served.
Visitors are welcome to all our services, and a contact card is provided in the pews for newcomers to the parish.
