Two services offer people the opportunity to receive the laying on of hands for themselves or someone else. these are provided by members of the healing prayer group, and the priest is available to anoint with holy oil if requested 9:30 am - Third Sunday of every month. This is the parish communion service (principal service of the day). After receiving communion, those who wish to, move into the Lady Chapel to receive the laying on of hands and anointing. 6:30 pm - On the last Sunday of the month. This is a specific healing service using a form based on the Church of England's Common Worship Book. It includes a number of hymns, prayers of intercession, a reading from scripture, and a sermon. The service incorporates laying on of hands an anointing, but nobody is under and pressure to seek this. 0118 979 2797
