Sunday Services

We will share communion together at the services on Sunday.

Our Sunday services are live-streamed and recorded on our YouTube channel. If you would prefer not to appear on screen, please sit in or under the balcony.

Prayer walk tomorrow morning around Neston (Sat 18th)

Please join Alan C tomorrow morning for a prayer walk around Neston. We’ll set off from the Memorial Hall in Neston at 8.30am and hope you can join us.

Praise and Worship Together – Sunday evening at 6pm

Join us for our monthly praise and worship service on Sunday evening. Nancy will lead us in worship and Steve Lancaster will be sharing testimony of God’s goodness and answers to prayer during his recent trip to Israel.

Midweek service – Weds 22nd Nov

If you haven’t been to a midweek service before, it includes thought-provoking Bible teaching and a mixture of old hymns and newer songs. But we’re not just a meeting: we’re also a community and we enjoy chatting over refreshments afterwards. We’d love to see you on Wednesday!

Women’s Bible Study – Monday 27th Nov

We’re looking forward to our next study in the book of 1 John. Come along at 7.30pm for a cuppa and we’ll start at 7.40pm. Study buddy notes are available to collect at church.

Hang Out – change of date

Just a heads up that the next Hang Out, for KS2-aged children, will be on Sunday 3rd December at 4.30pm, not the 10th as previously planned. And it will be the Christmas party – please note in your diaries!

Tech news

Ben R reports:
1. We have been streaming with live subtitles for a few weeks now. Anyone wanting to use them when viewing YouTube can switch on closed captions on the stream.
2. We (well, Martin) have fixed the hearing loop and it should be working now. Please let us know if you have any more trouble with it.

Christmas Events

Men’s Christmas Curry: Thurs 23rd Nov at 7.30pm

This is your last chance to book your seat for this great event! There’s a nominal cost of £5 per person but don’t let that put you off (concessions are available).  Please click here to register, or speak to Ian Holmes or Dave Eckley. We look forward to seeing you there!  

The Ark – Sat 25th Nov

The next Ark will be the Christmas Ark and will be held on Saturday 25th November, 10.30am-12pm. This will be a Nativity service so come dressed as a character from the nativity and join in the celebrations!

Children’s drop-in Christmas decoration-making session – Sat 25th Nov

The annual St Bart’s Christmas tree festival is running again this year and CBC will be entering a tree once again. Drop in to Priory Street between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday 25th November to help Rhiannon make the decorations for our tree.

Born in a Barn – farm tidy up! – Sat 2nd Dec

In anticipation of 360 people descending on the Priors’ farm for our nativity, we could do with some willing hands to help tidy up the barn(s) in preparation. If you have some time available on Sat 2nd December, please join John P at the farm from 10am. Best wear wellies and something warm!

Also, we still need a few refreshment servers and stewards at the nativity on 10th December – speak to John if you can help.

Christmas wreath-making workshop: Sat 2nd Dec, 9.30-11.30am

There are still a few spaces left to join this fun workshop! Create your very own wreath to adorn your front door – we will guide you through the process, providing the materials you need (but if you have foliage at home please bring it – it always needs more than you think!). Book here to ensure that you don’t miss out on this fun opportunity to add a personal touch to your Christmas decorations! For more information please speak to Katharine Mortimer.

Women’s Christmas Meal: Monday 11th Dec

In Jesus we have SO much to celebrate this Christmas, so come ready to  sparkle and shine  as we turn up the joy levels to the max and celebrate together in true CBC women’s style! Join us on the 11th December at 7.30pm in church for a fabulous Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, including the legendary hot chocolates!  The cost is £12 and you can book here. …Come sparkly, come all!
