WITHIN THE CHURCH
 
As well as serving the town, we worship week by week as the people of God in St. Nicholas.
Our main Worship is on a Sunday at 10:30am and finishes around 11.45am.
The churchs' peal of eight bells rings out a call to worship across the town. (see the notes below)
It is a warm, friendly time of worship with Holy Communion in fellowship at the High altar or at the communion table.
We use the Common Worship order of service
A clear word is brought to us each week that has relevance to our daily lives, encouraging us with God's support
Sung worship is led by our organists and a music group with traditional hymns and modern songs.
After the service we have fellowship with refreshements.
If you require a time of private prayer or contemplation, the chapel of St. Chad is an oasis of peace in the church
We always know that God is with us and meeting with us.
 
On Wednesday at 10:30am we also have services which alternate between Holy Communion and Morning Prayer.
The Communion services alternate between the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship order of service. 
 
Lasting around 40 minutes there is a time for fellowship and refreshments afterwards.
As on Sundays, the chapel of St. Chad is available for private prayer and contemplation.
 
Details of these services are shown on our SERVICES Page

and look forward to the future and new things!
 
We are also closely partnered  with Newport Infants school

THE SPIRITUAL BEAUTY OF St. NICHOLAS CHURCH & OUR CHAPEL OF St. CHAD withint the Church 
 
St. Nicholas is a Church that is easy to belong to, and always open to new people joining us and participating.
 
There is a most beautiful, almost tangible presence of God the Father in St. Nicholas.
Even when empty, you can't help but encounter God so do spent time of reflection with Him in our church..
Contact us if you wish to arrange a time of private prayer and contemplation.
 
Through all the activities we seek to meet people where they are and help them to discover the Lord,
to grow in him and allow him to renew their lives through the activity of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is easy to "find" in St. Nicholas and you and your family are most welcome, always.  
 
That is why our Church is not only a  most beautiful place to grace a baptism, Wedding or Funeral,  there is also something of the love, peace and beauty of God's goodness present for you to experience.
It is spiritually a most wonderful and glorious "safe" place to be.
 
God bless you
