This September, the Old Town Partnership of Churches will gather for a very special Church Family Weekend at Home, hosted at Christ Church and the Community Centre. From Friday 12th to Sunday 14th September, we’ll be coming together around the theme:

✨ “Growing in Jesus and Community” ✨

The weekend offers a wonderful mix of worship, learning, fellowship and fun – with something for everyone, no matter your age or stage of faith.

What’s on?

The programme begins on Friday evening with The Beloved Son, a moving performance of Henri Nouwen’s life story by actor Andrew Harrison, followed by a Q&A. You can book your tickets to this HERE. The evening will close with a time of worship and quiet reflection in Christ Church.

On Saturday morning, we welcome our guest speaker, the Revd Robert Jordan, who will guide us in exploring what it means to grow in Jesus and in community. The afternoon offers opportunities to take part in creative workshops, join a walk on the Ridgeway, or support a fundraising garden event in aid of The Children’s Society. In the evening, we’ll share a fish and chip supper and enjoy a games night before evening worship.

On Sunday, the whole church family will gather for a Celebration Parish Service at Christ Church, followed by a congregational roast lunch in the Community Centre. The afternoon includes a Q&A session with Revd Robert Jordan, a chance to reflect on how we’ve grown together over the weekend, and finally a bring-and-share tea to close.

Everyone Welcome

Whether you can join us for the whole weekend or just one part, we’d love to see you there. It’s a chance to deepen our faith, strengthen our community, and enjoy time together as God’s people.

To help with catering and planning, please let the Parish Office know which events you’d like to attend.
