Cawthorne Church offers a warm welcome to everyone. Our Sunday morning services usually last for around 45 minutes and refreshments are always served afterward giving a chance for fellowship and a friendly chat. Activities are available for children and young people, but our whole congregation varies in age. Refresh takes place on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 9.45 am, when Sam, our Family and Children’s Worker, helps children and their families to explore the bible in fun and active ways. This is followed by a child-friendly service starting at 10.30. The first service of the month is all-age worship led by Dr. Revd. Philip Bee. All services with the exception of Refresh begin at 10.30 am and follow well-established patterns with hymn singing, prayers, and a sermon about the Bible reading for the day.
There’s always someone around to welcome you and show newcomers around, and you may sit wherever you feel most comfortable!
All our services are intended to help us to meet with God in worship and to feel the love he has for us. Our readings and reflections help us to understand what he is doing in our lives and we are invited to respond with thanks and commitment as we seek to follow where he leads.
Generally, the service is led from the front of the church by a worship leader, who guides everyone through the service. People are welcome to either sit or stand as they feel comfortable with the different parts of the service.
During the service, an offering is taken in which we are invited to show our commitment and love to God by making a contribution to the ongoing life of the Church. The money is primarily used to pay for the church minister and lay workers who help to shape our work as an authentic Christian community that seeks to offer God’s love to the wider world through our care and concern for our neighbours, both locally and much further away. No one has to make an offering of money if they prefer not to.
Children may stay with their parents throughout our services, we have boxes of activities to keep them engaged.
Getting to know people is an important part of church life. It is through our relationships with others that we most often see, give and receive God’s love. We usually, therefore, open the coffee bar after the service. If you have time, you are welcome to stay for a drink after the service to get to know others who part of the church family.
Should you need any help while you are in church, ask one of our stewards. They will be only too pleased to help you.
