Home Church Sunday
26th October 2025
Home Church Sunday is occasional. In its simplest form it is about the home cell, be that family or friends, spending some God focused time together. Whether that be exploring Bible stories and passages around a kitchen table; around the house, with games; with art and craft; in the garden; go out and about on a walk in God's creation or simply watching a Chosen episode.
Whether you explore a new spiritual practice, take a reflective walk, or dig into scripture, here are some simple ideas to inspire your faith journey:

🚶 Walk Together
Reach out to someone from church and go on a walk together—chat, pray, or just enjoy the peace of being outdoors.
🏰 Visit Ely Cathedral
If you’re on our church roll, I can sign your Parish Pass application for free entry (tours still cost extra). Consider visiting with a friend from church!
🍽️ Eat Together
Why not reach out to someone from church and share a meal this week.
A coffee, lunch, or dinner — it's a great way to connect, laugh, and build community.
🧘 Reflective Practices
🪞 The Examen
This week, ask:
What brought me life - joy, peace, connection?
What drained me - stress, sadness, emptiness?
Where did I see God - through kindness, caring, generosity?
✋ Pray for 5 People
Write down five names and commit to praying for them daily this week.

🎥 Animation – DIY
Make your own animation of a Bible story using the Aardman Animator (Google Play & Apple App store) with lego or play dough etc.
🐑 The Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–7)
Perfect for visual comedy and heart — one silly sheep wandering off, lots of slapstick potential with the shepherd searching.
🧱 The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24–27)
Physical comedy galore! One builds a sturdy house, the other builds a wobbly shack — cue a comical rainstorm.
💬 However You Home Church Sunday...
