Come and Join Us – Sunday Morning Worship at Baconsthorpe Church

Looking for a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect? You’re warmly invited to our Sunday morning service — a gentle hour of music, prayer, and community.

This is a Eucharist service (also known as Holy Communion), where we gather to share bread and wine, remember the love of Jesus, and find strength and hope for the week ahead.

You don’t need to know what to do, or even what you believe — everyone is welcome here. Whether church is part of your life or something completely new, you’ll find a friendly space where you can simply come as you are.

Children are very welcome — we love to see families in church, and there’s room for little ones to be themselves.

After the service, we serve tea, coffee, and biscuits — and there’s always time for a chat if you’d like to meet others or ask any questions.

Baconsthorpe Church is a place to belong, explore, and be encouraged. We’d love to welcome you this Sunday.
