Other details:
Here at St. Lawrence with St. Paul we benefit from having two very different church buildings, enabling us to offer worship services and events at both churches as we seek to reach out into the expanding community of Longridge.
In St. Paul’s Church we have a Sunday Holy Communion Service with robed SATB choir and Children’s Church at 10am, except on the second Sunday of the month when we have a 10am Contemporary Service led by a music group where the organist would not be required. Choral Evensong, again with robed SATB choir, is held in St. Lawrence’s Church at 6.30pm, with Holy Communion on the second Sunday of the month. It is expected that the organist would play at both morning and evening services but flexibility can be discussed at interview.
St. Paul’s has a splendid grade 1 listed Willis Organ and St. Lawrence’s a Wyvern Digital organ.
