Sunday mornings
The church meets every Sunday morning with conversation from
11am to around 12.15pm. Our service is informal with worship
and a talk. Our worship bands use modern songs and instruments
including guitars, bass guitar, electric keyboards, drums
and flute.
We have a concourse area in the Warehouse where we have coffee
after the service. All are very warmly welcome.
On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate Communion.
Q4 and small groups
Throughout the week we have Q4 and small groups that meet.
Q4 groups consist of three to five people meeting on an informal
basis around an activity and then using one to four set questions
to explore their experience of God.
Small groups meet in people's homes on a regular basis throughout
the month.
Soul Cafe & Ernie's Bazaar - Wednesday evenings These
are meetings for adults that focuses on teaching, training
and equipping as well as an opportunity to pray for each other.
Pastoral
Care
Are you
hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call
for the church leaders to pray......... James Ch 5 v 13–20,
The Message
Pastoral
care takes place in many different ways in Northdown CFC.
There is:
- Self care like praying and spending time
with God
- Community prayer requests at the Forum
Wailing Wall
- Caring for each other as friends and
brothers and sisters
- Being a mini-community together in small
groups, Q4’s or task groups
- Listening to each other’s confessions,
supporting and praying for one another
- Showing practical care when life hurts
Anyone one
of us in the church can and should do these things as part
of our everyday walk with God. We don’t set up any formal
structures for what we believe is part of a normal caring
community
