Sunday Services

Our Sunday services at Priory Street are live-streamed/recorded on our YouTube channel. If you would prefer not to appear on screen, you’re advised to sit in or under the balcony.

If you’re coming to the service in Neston, please only use the Memorial Hall car park if you are bringing equipment, or have accessibility needs. Other parking is available on the surrounding roads. If you are able to help set up or pack down that would be much appreciated.

We would usually share communion together on the second Sunday but for this month it has been moved to next Sunday.

Prayer walk tomorrow morning around Neston (Sat 7th)

Please join Rob D tomorrow morning as he leads a prayer walk around Neston. We will set off from the Memorial Hall at 8.30am and would love you to join us.

Tearfund Big Quiz – tomorrow evening!

Bible Sunday

You are warmly invited to a service to celebrate the gift of God’s Word this coming Sunday at 6pm at St. Patrick’s RC Church, Park Lane, Corsham. Everyone is welcome and refreshments will be served after the service.

Hang Out

Dear Key Stage 2 parents/guardians, please send your KS2 children along to Priory Street on Sunday (4:00-5:30pm) for fun, food & fellowship. Any questions, please see Beth Mills or Rhiannon.

Mission Update – October

This month’s Mission Update leaflet is ready to collect from church and it will give you pointers for prayer and praise directly from our mission partners.

Church Meeting and Special Church Meeting – Monday 9th Oct at 8pm

11.15 service – creche volunteers needed

We are looking for 1-2 more crèche volunteers at the 11:15 service. Please find further information about the role description here and express your interest by filling out this short form so that someone can get in touch with you to discuss the role. Should you have any further questions then please contact elspethp@corshambaptists.org.

Midweek service – Weds 11th Oct

Come along on Wednesday at 2pm for our fortnightly midweek service. Alan Christie will be bringing us God’s word from John 21: 1-19 and refreshments will be served afterwards.

200th church anniversary

Join us on Oct 29th for a very special service in the history of CBC – as we celebrate our 200th anniversary! The joint service will be a reflection on the Lord’s faithfulness, kindness and provision over the years – where all congregations will come together in praise and worship! We are delighted that Graham Culver, former pastor at CBC, will be preaching and we have several other special things planned.

This service will also be a special time to acknowledge harvest. While we get to look back on God’s goodness and his care for us over 200 years, we can look outward into our community and be a conduit of God’s love. To that end, we’ll be collecting non-perishable tinned goods as a part of the service. Everyone who is able, is invited to bring an item for the collection. (If you’d like some ideas for what to donate, have a look here at items that are in demand.) More details about this are to come.

We look forward to this service and hope you can join us for this historic event and opportunity to praise and worship God together.

The Light Party – 31st October

Our annual Light Party will be held on Tuesday 31st October from 5-7pm. The volunteer sign up sheet is at the back of church, please sign up and pray!!
