Our Gatherings
There is something really special about gathering together as we worship, learn and enjoy community.
The 8:30am Service is a Holy Communion Service using modern language liturgy: a smaller, reflective service with a sermon and one hymn. This service is streamed on our YouTube channel.
The 10:30am Service is our largest gathering, informal and contemporary in style, with band-led worship, bible teaching and prayer. This service is streamed on our YouTube channel (except ‘Sunday Fun Day’). We have a varied monthly pattern, with all services ending by 12pm.
1st Sunday - 'Sunday Fun Day’ with 45 minutes of fun activities for all ages, food and opportunity for conversation, followed by 45 minutes of worship, bible content, discussion, prayer, games and reflection - an intergenerational and highly accessible gathering of church.
2nd & 4th Sunday - Worship led by our band is followed by prayers, a bible reading and a talk. We finish with more worship and the offer of ‘prayer ministry’, before sharing refreshments together in the church concourse. There are specific groups for young people and children to discover faith in a fun, engaging and age-appropriate setting.
3rd Sunday - Similar to the above, but with all-ages together at the start to share in Holy Communion. The children and young people then leave for their groups.
5th Sunday - Also similar but with children’s groups running throughout, youth (years 7-9) leaving after the worship, and Holy Communion celebrated at the end of the service.
The Gathering @7pm is a relaxed and informal space for worship, learning and prayer. Café-style, with refreshments available throughout, these evenings are especially suited to those new to church or ‘younger’ in age. Typically we start with a short time of worship, a short talk or video, and time for discussion or personal refection. These gatherings are not streamed and only take place during term-time.
Other Services
On the 1st Wednesday of every month we have short communion service using the same liturgy as the 8:30am Sunday service but without the hymn and the sermon. You’re welcome to stay on for our pop-in cafe afterwards for refreshments.
We also offer a range of services during the year such as Contemplative, Bereavement and Healing events. At Christmas and Easter, we offer both traditional and more creative events as well as a variety of all age activities from craft to meditation.
Weddings, Baptisms & Funerals
We are part of the Church of England, and as such the parish church for christenings, weddings and funerals for Fleetville and the surrounding area. If you have questions about these please get in touch.
