Style of worship at SMIV
At SMIV we use traditional Anglican liturgy during our Communion services. This helps us to focus with reverence on what we are experiencing, doing and saying. At the same time, we don’t rely excessively on rituals and symbolism experienced at more ‘formal’ churches. Christians from a range of backgrounds have commented how they feel comfortable and able to worship fully with us.
“For since the creation of the world God’s eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things He has made.”
Romans 1 : 20
