NOTES AND REMINDERS

  • SEPTEMBER IN PRAYER: “We often say that prayer is key in the Christian life, but rarely give much time to talking to God. As we start a new season in the life of our church with Warren’s appointment we’re going to devote our Tuesday groups for 3 weeks to prayer. We started this week with a very low turnout for a variety of reasons. Please can I encourage you to prioritise the next two Tuesday’s, either 1.30pm @ The Centre or 7.30pm @ The Vicarage to come and join in prayer. If we want our church to grow and our friends and family to know Christ, there is nothing more effective or more important that we can be doing. Love in Christ, Daf.”
  • WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY: Tuesday 22nd September, 1.30pm in the Church Centre and 7.30pm in the vicarage, we will start to study the life of Abraham.
  • TEENAGE BIBLE STUDY: Starts again Thursday, 10th at 7.30pm at The Vicarage
  • CREAM TEAS: THE LAST HOORAH! “We went out with a flourish for the last cream teas this season.  The rain held off and we had enough cake for all. A note of thanks to everyone who contributed, however small or large: the cake makers, servers, washer ups, cashier, those of you who put up the equipment including advertising boards and took them down. A massive thanks to all, we could not have done it without you.”
  • APP SUGGESTION: If you have an iPhone, why not download the app ‘Everyday Faith’ by the Church of England – a free app that offers reflection, prayer and guidance to inspire you in your everyday faith.
  • BRING & SHARE LUNCHES: Every 4th Sunday.  A great opportunity to come together and share food, fellowship and laughter.
  • COMMUNITY GROUPS – All our usual weekly/monthly groups are: Tiddlywinks, Souper Lunch, Link Up, Community Café so do spread the word to anyone you feel would benefit from coming along to any of them. And if you’re interested in helping out at any of them, contact the office: office@pshg.org. Tiddlywinks will restart on 7th September.
PASTORAL CARE: If you know of anyone in need or if you require help yourself, please don’t hesitate to contact the Office.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet in two places just to confuse things (details here) for our Sunday Services starting at 10am. On the 1st, 3rd & 4th Sundays of the month we're at Christ Church Holmer Green, either in the Church Centre or the church building. On the 2nd and 5th (if there is one!) we meet at Holy Trinity Penn Street.

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will give you any books and information you need for the service.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. It is a great way to meet people and find out about church life . All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a disabled toilet in the main entrance of the Christ Church centre and an accessible toilet in Holy Trinity. Both churches have wheelchair access and a hearing loop.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am. We sing a mixture of old and new songs. There's always a Bible passage read and a talk explaining it and how it speaks into our lives today. Someone will lead us in prayer and on two Sunday's a month we share Holy Communion together. Everyone is welcome at every service.

What about my kids?

We love to see children at church. We have:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
  • Encounter (4-11 years)
  • Young people (11+ years) Stay in service.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. The service leader will announce when it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy. 

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, praying, craft, drama, and fun games. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes or when we have communion they will be brought back into the service to be with you before the end.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. 

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

  • Tiddlywinks Toddler group
  • Souper Lunch
  • Link-up bereavement group
  • Community Cafe
