| Sunday Services | |
| Whether you'd describe yourself as just looking or a committed Christian, we'd love you to join us as we gather to worship God together. We want all of our services to be relaxed, friendly and welcoming. You don't have to be a member, know what to do, dress up or have silent children - just come! | |
| We have two different styles of service on Sundays at Christ Church, each of about 70 minutes, with refreshments served in between... | |
9am Formal Service - hymns, more structured, quieter Although still relaxed, this service has a more familiar Church of England (Common Worship) pattern to it. We sing hymns together, hear a sermon and most weeks we share in Holy Communion. |
|
11am Informal Service - band, children's groups, more relaxed This service is more contemporary and informal with music led by a band. Every week there are activities for children and young people. Sometimes we all meet together, at other times we meet in our age groups (Kids for God, Pro-Teens, adults). Come 15 minutes early for refreshments in the hall and to find out what's going on. |
|
| Coffee and doughnuts (and healthy alternatives!) are served between the services (10.15-11am) in the church hall. Please do stay on after the 9am or come early for the 11am to have a drink, use the facilities and have a chat. | |
| If you have mobility problems or a pram please don't be put off by the steps! Access to the hall is flat and we have a ramp up into the church. Just ask and somebody will help you. | |
| Young Children are always welcome even if they make a noise when others don't! You can choose to keep them with you, use the crèche, or use a quiet room at the back of the church. | |
| We also have monthly services midweek at Christ Church(especially for those who struggle to make it on a Sunday) and at Oakhanger. | |
| The weekly theme is the same for both Sunday services and generally the same speaker... | |

| Midweek Services |
| Coffee & Communion 10.30am Third Thursday of Each Month |
| We have a shorter communion service in the relaxed setting of the church hall once a month, followed by cake in the lounge. All are welcome, and especially those who find it difficult to get to a Sunday service for whatever reason. Maybe you haven't been able to get to church for some years, or maybe something has made it difficult more recently. Or, perhaps, you do make it on Sundays and would like to meet and welcome those who can't. Whether young or old, we'd love to see you. You'll be warmly welcomed. |
| The hall has parking outside, flat access and disabled toilets. Some people make their own transport arrangements, but lifts can be arranged if you need one - do give the office a ring on 872291. |
| This is a great way to get out, worship God and meet with other Christians, whatever tradition you come from. The cakes are good too... if not the vicar's jokes! |
| We meet on the Third Thursday of every month. We'd love to see you! |
| Dennis Round Court (Second Tuesday of Each Month) |
| We hold a short service at Dennis Round Court monthly in the lounge there. |
