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.
