The Parish of St
Matthias, St Mark and Holy Trinity, Ilsham, Torquay, Devon
in the Anglican Diocese of Exeter
The services at St Matthias are varied in both their content and style, some using the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer ("BCP") or Common Worship ("CW") while others, particularly special services, embrace a wider source of material in both words and music, creating a one-off liturgy, with considerable congregational participation. The Edge is an informal service which aims to be thought provoking and to provide worship in a contemporary style. It takes place at 6.30 pm on the third Sunday of each month, other than August, in the Church with coffee being served after the service. Prayzone is an informal Service of Interactive Contemporary Worship and is held in the hall at 10.30 am on the fourth Sunday of each month. There is a strong emphasis on biblical preaching and teaching throughout the life of the Church.
