For those who are hard of hearing the church is fitted with a loop system, whilst for anyone with young children activity bags are available.

Tea and coffee are served after the Family and Memorial Hall services when there is an opportunity to ask questions, chat, and get to know each other.

 

Morning Prayer (Common Worship)

This service follows the Common Worship liturgy for Morning Prayer, and is more appropriate for adults. A Sunday Club/Sunday School operates in both Burton and Holme during these services

Holy Communion (ASB)

This service follows the Alternative Service Book liturgy for Holy Communion, and is more appropriate for adults. A Sunday Club/Sunday School operates in both Burton and Holme during these services

Holy Communion (BCP)

This service follows the Book of Common Prayer liturgy for Holy Communion, and is more appropriate for adults. The BCP is the original 17th Century liturgy, and is therefore not contemporary in its style. These services are 8:30 in the morning at Burton.

Family Communion

This service uses contemporary liturgy and is appropriate for all the family. There is no Sunday club/school during these services because the church family are all together. Talks and activities are geared towards children. Teas and coffees are normally served after this service.

Family Service

This service uses either the CPAS booklet or contemporary liturgy and is appropriate for all the family. There is no Sunday club/school during these services because the church family are all together. Talks and activities are geared towards both children and adults. Teas and coffees are normally served after this service.

Informal service in Burton Memorial Hall

This service takes place one Sunday a month in the Memorial Hall in Burton, and is more contemporary than most of those held in either of the two churches in that there's no liturgy and there tends to be more songs and choruses rather than hymns. It is appropriate for all the family, and children stay in the service for the first half hour before going out to the adjoining Sunday Club classes.  Teas and coffees are normally served after this service.

Evening Prayer/Evening Praise

This service takes place each Sunday evening in the Atkinson Room at St James'. Burton. The emphasis of this service is expository preaching. This service is more appropriate for adults. Evening Praise is a less formal service, but still with the emphasis on expository preaching

Sunday teaching for young people

Teaching is provided to the young people under senior school age in either the Burton Memorial Hall or the upstairs room in Holme church at the same time each week other than on the 2nd Sunday in each month (these are family services and the church family is together). Young people of school year 7 and above have their own separate Sunday morning group (YO-YO's) in Burton, and for those in Year 9 and above have a Sunday evening bible study group. See below for more details :

 

Sunday Club

The Sunday club meets in the Burton Memorial Hall at 9:30 a.m. and at Holy Trinity at 11:00 on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month. On the 2nd Sunday both churches have a Family Service geared towards children, and on the 4th Sunday the Sunday Club meets at the Burton Memorial Hall for the less formal Fellowship service (see above for details). Where there's a 5th Sunday, both churches combine for a family service at one of the church buildings.
