Informal service held in the round.
A Eucharist Service takes place every Sunday at 10am. In addition on the first Sunday of the month there is also a lay led service in the Church Hall at 3pm (DL13 2UE). On fifth Sundays, we worship jointly with the Methodists in different locations throughout the Benefice. The next of these services will take place at Pentecost, 19th May 2024, 10.30am at All Saints Church, Eastgate.
Morning worship with Holy Communion (Eucharist) takes place in Stanhope Church every Wednesday morning, 10 am.
A Traditional Eucharist service takes place Sunday mornings alternating between the two churches at the head of the dale, St. John the Baptist in St. John's Chapel and St. Thomas Heatherycleugh in Cowshill. The service takes place at St. John's Chapel on the first and third Sundays of each month and at Cowshill on the second and fourth Sundays. When there is a fifth Sunday in a month the service is a joint service of all parishes in the Benefice and rotates amongst the churches. The services start at 10:00 am and are followed by coffee and fellowship in their respective halls.

This is a lay led service held in the Church hall. The hall is more accessible than the Church and allows an opportunity for frail elderly and disabled congregation members to meet in comfort. We share worship together and then have tea. Everybody takes a part and it means that congregation members who struggle to get up the church path continue to be a part of our worshipping community.
