The 9:30 am Sunday service is a well-attended, lively, contemporary and informal family service with a live worship band. All of the songs, readings and prayers are shown on overhead screens so you will have no difficulty in following the service. The service generally lasts about one hour and fifteen minutes: coffee/tea and biscuits are served in the church hall afterwards. During this service a crèche is provided, and the older children (infant and junior school aged children) have an opportunity to go out to separate clubs.  Occasionally, there is an "All in family service" where all the children stay in the church for the entire service. 

The 11.10 am Sunday service is a more traditional  service with hymn singing accompanied by the church organ. No crèche or children's activities are provided during this service. Wine and nibbles are served after the service on the first Sunday of the month!

The 6.30 pm Sunday evening services are fairly informal: they last a bit longer than the morning services. The content and emphasis of these services varies. Normally on the first Sunday of every month (instead of the this service) there is a café-style meeting in the church hall between 5-7 pm called “The Place”. These get-togethers provide people with an opportunity to chat informally, drink tea or coffee, and discuss topics relating to the Christian faith, while seated around coffee tables.

Every Thursday morning at 10.30 am there is a Holy Communion service at Holy Rood.

No collections are taken up during any of the Holy Rood services.
