As a Church we are committed to creative, Spirit filled, God centered worship. However our culture is changing and we have experimented with new forms of worship which are inclusive whilst remaining Bible based.
Our family services are aimed at including all ages in a common act of worship that binds us together as a family with God as our Father. We believe we are not a group of families but a family group and our worship with drama, video and interactive craft reflects this belief.

Egypt and The Miracle Maker). They are available for other Churches. Please
e-mail

The Chocolate Christmas Story
A certain minister of this Church is famous for his love of chocolate (
well, OK, his love of food generally !). We even tell the Christmas story
mentioning as many chocolate bars as possible. A sweet ending to a carol
service, but with a point ! Click on the link to download the story in Microsoft
Word format.
The Three Wise Men
What is they'd been women instead ? This humorous Microsoft Powerpoint presentation
answers that question.
It's LIFE Jim, but not as we know it !
Click here for a set of instructions
and photos for how to fold and tear a piece of A4 so that the pieces spell
either 'LIFE' or 'HELL', plus a cross (you can use a bigger sheet as long
as it's dimensions are a multiple of A4's !). We have used it for either
Easter or Christmas talks.
When My Heart Runs Dry
Matt Redman writes some amazing music. We did a powerpoint presentation
to put images to 'When My Heart Runs Dry' from 'Where Angels Fear To Tread'.

Heart Runs Dry.mp3 on your pc then the powerpoint will start the music.
You will need to advance the images by pressing the space bar at the start
of each line of the song. There are two versions, one with words and one
without;
When My Hearts Runs Dry - no words
When My Heart Runs Dry - with words

Easter Week Prayer and Reading Diary
This prayer guide is in Microsoft Publisher format. It prints as a two sided
A4 sheet, with three guides per sheet. If you print off one side and then
turn your paper over and put it back in the printer you should get it double-sided.
Please feel free to use it and edit it, but some mention of Buttershaw would
be appreciated !
Easter Week Reading and Prayer Guide
Seven Promises for Seven Days
This card is in Microsoft Publisher format. It prints three cards on sheet
of A4 sheet. It was designed to go along side a series on faith, which needs
us to know the promises of God. The seven promises, one to be learnt for
each day, was a good start. We printed them off and laminated them to use
as bookmarks or stick in a prominent place. Please feel free to use it and
edit it, but some mention of Buttershaw would be appreciated !
