Many of us are eager to share the Gospel, but we sometimes find ourselves communicating it in ways that others find confusing or hard to understand. Everyday Evangelism aims to equip us to talk about Jesus in fresh & relatable ways to those with little or no background knowledge of Jesus. Our Curate Rev Rob Byrne is leading this short three-session course on the first three Thursday evenings in November (6th, 13th & 20th). 7:30 for a 7:45 start. Register for your free ticket below.
If you want your children to focus on light rather than darkness this Halloween, then why not sign them up for our Light Party? Please book your free ticket here - open to all children in Reception - Year 6.
Confirmation is an opportunity for those who have been baptised (as babies or adults) who now wish to publicly affirm their faith and decision to follow Jesus Christ. The confirmation service is on Sunday 12th October at 4pm, during which the Bishop lays hands on each person being confirmed and we pray for God’s power to fill them afresh. It’s a day of great celebration for the whole church.
Confirmation classes will be on Thursday evenings in late September & early October (18th, 25th, 2nd & 9th) for those preparing for confirmation and for any who want to better understand the foundations of our faith.
You’re invited to CCTW’s annual Celebration of Mission, hosted by our mission team and partners.
