Sunday Eucharist Services
7:30 Eucharist
A simple said service using the old prayer book with hymns, this is a good choice for people who prefer a traditional style of worship in the intimate setting of the chancel.
9:30 Eucharist
The main service of the week, with worship led by the Cathedral Choir. The more modern 1989 prayer book and sung mass setting bring a joyful, exuberant service for the whole family.
Children's church is offered during this service.
8:30 Monthly Joint Eucharist
On the third Sunday of each month, a joint service is held at 8:30. This service is always a wonderful celebration, with additional special music offered by the choir and organist, and is followed by a time for fellowship with tea, coffee and cake!
Choral Evensong
17:00 on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sunday of each month
Choral evensong is a service full of music, with a sung setting of the Song of Mary (Magnificat) and Song of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis), as well as most of the liturgy (Preces and Responses), a chanted psalm and an Anthem. The congregation is encouraged to participate in the singing of the hymns and the said parts of the liturgy, but have ample time to reflect and luxuriate in the glorious music and magical setting.
​
The St Michael's Consort sings evensong twice a month (the 2nd and 4th Sundays). The 1st Sunday evensong is sung by different combinations of voices, often on a smaller scale.

Compline
18:30 on the eve of the 3rd Sunday of each month
On the Saturday before the 3rd Sunday every month, singers from St Michael's Consort sing the monastic office of Compline.
​
Compline is the final office of the daily cycle of monastic prayer, said in the evening before retiring for the night. Its name is derived from the Latin completorium, meaning "completion," reflecting its purpose as the concluding prayer of the day. Compline includes psalms, prayers, hymns, and scripture readings that focus on peace, protection, and reflection before sleep. The whole service is sung in a mixture of English and Latin to the traditional Gregorian chants.
