WORSHIP AT ST LEONARD'S
The Eucharist is celebrated in St. Leonard’s and St. Michael’s at least once each Sunday and on alternate Sundays at Holy Cross. There are, in addition, three weekday celebrations in the parish, and Morning and Evening Prayer are said on most weekdays. Common Worship was introduced in December 2000 with BCP being maintained for certain services on a regular basis. Othe worship styles have been used and appreciated.

The Parish Communion at St. Leonard’s has up to 100 communicants, with the congregation including children who attend the Sunday Fun Club held at the same time but joining the service at the time of communion. Approximately 30 people attend Sung Matins at St. Michael’s, which is followed on alternate Sundays by Holy Communion, with usually about 20 at Holy Cross for Morning Worship, which alternates with Holy Communion. The USA of 236 includes those attending the said Holy Communion services at St. Leonard’s and St. Michael’s as well as Sung Evensong at St. Leonard’s.

The tradition in the parish is central/modern catholic, but we enjoy a variety across our three churches. Vestments are usually worn and there is a strong choral element to the worship with two choirs at St. Leonard’s, with a very new addition of a girls’ choir. There is a further choir at St. Michael’s. We use a range of hymn books.

Potential for Development:  Strong links have been forged with the newly formed Hythe Bay C. of E. Primary School. This has laid a firm foundation for exciting opportunities for ministry to both young and old in the parish.

The basis of a mixed economy of worship and churchmanship is well established and is ripe for new ideas and developments in worship styles whilst maintaining the much loved traditional forms of worship.
