Church Weekend At Home 2026

From 9th-11th October we will be holding our fourth “Church Weekend At Home”. It’s a time to enjoy each other’s company, have some great teaching from Bishop Mike, worship, eat together… and also, at the end of the day, go back to our own beds! We’ve held a few of these before and they’ve been a great success. It is for both our church families and will be based at Christ Church.

The weekend will include supper on the Friday evening. On both Saturday and Sunday our time together will start with tea/coffee and pastries. On Saturday morning Bishop Mike Hill will be looking at the book of Ephesians with us. We are planning a group for children during part of the morning. Then there will be lunch and, after this, an optional gentle walk. The evening will include a fish and chip supper (or you can order other chip shop alternatives) with music and fun! On the Sunday, there will be themed services (with Bishop Mike at Christ Church and with John Birkett at Emmanuel) to finish the weekend. Although it would be wonderful if you can make all the sessions, you don’t have to come to every one.

The cost of the weekend is £30 per adult (children come free) which will include all the food. If you wish to miss the Saturday evening the cost is £22. We have kept the price the same as two years ago meaning costs will be tight but, if you might be able to pay a bit extra to help with the finances (including a gift for Bishop Mike), that would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you would love to come but are having difficulty finding all the money, do please have a word with Tom.
