Our Sunday service takes place at Joseph Rowntree School, New Earswick, York at 10:30am every Sunday morning. We meet in the main hall of the new school building, which is on the ground floor and has easy access for all. There is ample free parking. After the service, tea, coffee and cakes are served free of charge and we encourage first time visitors to stay for fellowship after the service.
What to Expect
We are a vibrant, all-age congregation and we acknowledge that our style of worship is not for everyone – but we would be delighted if you would like to give us a try. We always endeavour to make everyone welcome.
When you first arrive, you will be greeted by a member of our welcome team, who will be happy to show you to the main hall where we hold our services, and introduce you to other members of our congregation.
Our services commence at 10:30am and begin with a brief welcome from Charles, followed by family notices and prayer. We then go into a period of extended modern worship, during which you are free to stand or sit.
Following worship, Charles will preach a sermon lasting approximately 30 minutes (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter), after which there will be another period of worship to conclude the meeting. During worship there is always the opportunity for people to bring words or scripture that they feel God has put on their heart to share. At the end of the service, Charles, Cath and other leaders will be available to chat to and to pray with you.
After the service, tea, coffee and cakes are served in the area just outside the main hall. We would encourage you to stay and chat to the other members of our congregation. Information will be available about our homegroups which meet during the week if you are interested in joining in midweek fellowship and Bible study.
We look forward to welcoming you to Christ the Light Church. Please, if you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to get in touch.
