Church services

 

Covid-secure and ready to welcome you!

Worship at All Saints’ Church, Hurworth will begin again on Sunday 2nd August at 10:30am.

To begin with, we will hold one Sunday service per week. During August, all services will be “Service of the Word” (Morning Prayer). We hope to resume communion soon.

There will be no singing, but the organ will be played before and after worship, and we will have the usual mix of readings, prayers and an address.

Face masks are “strongly advised” in churches, so we are requiring everyone (age 11 and over) to wear a mask unless medically exempt. Thank you. 

We will be live streaming the service via Zoom, so those who cannot come to church can continue to join in with “virtual worship” from home.  The camera will face the altar so you will not be seen, although you may be heard.

If you have any questions, please contact:

Julia Clarke, Churchwarden

COVID-19 and GOD

 

Covid-19, the coronavirus, is now affecting people in well over 100 countries around the world. It is a worldwide problem, and as it spreads, it increasingly comes closer and is a threat to everyone of us.

There is a powerful message here about equality. Probably the best known of all of Jesus’ sayings “God loved the world so much, he sent his Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “The world” is totally inclusive, no one is left out. “Whoever” is totally inclusive, no one is barred.

 

As God looks at the world, all are his favourites. Nobody and no one nation has a higher place than another. All, anyone anywhere, can be touched by the ‘virus’ of his love.

‘Hurworth Friday Hangout’

We  have started a  new Youth Group for people slightly younger than those who come to our Friday drop-in.  This is aimed at school years 5 and 6 and offers games, craft activities and tuck box. It is not  a  ‘drop-in’, and children attend for the whole of each session.  It  is on the first Friday of each month, from 5-6.30pm.  The cost is £1 per child per evening.

Children

 

All Saints Hurworth welcomes children: like Jesus, we value their contribution to our life together.  There is an unsupervised creche area near the front of church.  Fresh age appropriate materials are provided each week on the table to help children discover more about Jesus.  There are also toys and books.  We do not expect children to be silent or inactive! Parents/guardians are responsible for the safety of their children at all times. On the 3rd Sunday at 10.30 All Age Worship is particularly appropriate for young families - it is an informal, more inter-active service lasting 45mins.
