St Jude's holds services on Sunday mornings at 10:30am. They usually take the form of the informal Family Service, and Holy Communion is held every third Sunday. Some of the people involved in running the church are:
Presbyter-in-Charge-The Right Revd Paul Hunt
Following the retirement of its previous minister over ten years ago, St Jude's was almost closed. A small group of people thought this shouldn't happen and decided to try and keep the church going, if only for just another year. The church has been in an interregnum ever since, and we've done much better than just another year!
The church is currently under the oversight of Rt Rev Paul Hunt, Bishop of the Southern Diocese of the Free Church of England. Paul is the minister for one of our sister churches, St Andrew's in Bentley, and usually visits St Jude's once per month, Episcopal duties permitting. Paul also ensures our pulpit is filled each Sunday and Chairs the Council meetings.

Lay Reader & Accountant - John Haynes
John is also a delegate so along with the Wardens, represents the church at Denominational and Diocesan meetings. John is a Lay Reader so he takes a more active role in the services that do not have a presiding minister. John is a lay reader in the Church and takes the majority of services.
