Midweek service – Weds 8th Nov at 2pm

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.

Next Sunday – pilot services at Neston and Priory Street

We’ll be holding ‘pilot’ services for the new works at Priory Street and Neston next Sunday, 12th November, which is also Remembrance Sunday. The service at Priory St will start at 10.30am and at Neston Memorial Hall at 10am. If you’re coming to Neston please only use the Hall car park if you are bringing equipment, or have accessibility needs. Other parking is available on the surrounding roads.

Mission Focus Together – Sunday 12th Nov

Mission is an important part of life at CBC and it’s our privilege to support a number of mission partners. On the second Sunday of each month our evening service will be dedicated to praying for mission. This month we focus on the ministry of Open Doors, which supports persecuted Christians around the world. Vanessa will guide our prayers, which will include prayer for those affected by the conflict in Gaza and Israel.

Christmas Events

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

We look forward to seeing you there!  

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

Come join us for a Christmas wreath-making workshop at CBC! Create your very own beautiful 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!). Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crafter, this event is perfect for everyone. Places are limited – book early 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.

Born in a Barn: advance notice

This Saturday tickets for ‘Born in a Barn’ (our farmyard nativity event on 9 December) go live! This is a fantastic way for us to share the true story of the birth of Jesus with our community. As in years past, we expect the event to ‘sell out’ fast! So, if you’re part of the CBC family, please get involved serving with the event crew and leave tickets for friends, neighbours and colleagues to nab! It takes a village to run this event; we need stewards, bakers, hot coco-makers and – I’m forgetting something… oh yes! – ACTORS! There’s no better way to see the event than to be in the event! If you’d like to join the event crew, speak to Hollie, John P or Adam.

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!
