Welcome to Bowthorpe Church

Latest updates.

24th October 2020

Next Sunday our service will be led by Mike Gibbs and continues our theme of the “I am…” statements from the bible. This week “I am who I am”

From 1st November onwards we will be makes some changes to our services:

The first of the month services will be a creative church style service. On the first Sunday of the month starting with 1St November we are having a different type of service which is mainly but not exclusively aimed at families with children and young people. It will include various table top activities as well as a short talk focusing on a bible theme. Once a quarter there will be Godly Play for everyone with a follow up activity.
Everyone is welcome who enjoys a less formal service but please book your place on the website or by telephoning the church office by the preceding Wednesday.
We will move to our online booking system for places at our services, via the left-hand “Booking” option from the top menu ribbon. For those not online please call the church office no later than the Wednesday before the Sunday service to request a place.

Please if you are not able to attend in person join us on line via the link under latest posts.

All are welcome to join us. For those unable or unwilling to join us in person we will be streaming the service live. The link to join the service will be emailed to members. Additionally the link can be accessed via the latest posts so really pretty much as before. To watch the service live follow this link.

An edited version of the service will be uploaded to same post within 36h of the service.

To accommodate as many people as possible we have set up a rota during October for members attending church and chairs will be assigned to help the maximum number to safely join our worship on Sundays. If you are not a member and want to attend please let the church office know by midday Thursday so the chairs can be set out accordingly, see church office email address below. We will also try to ensure a few chairs are available for last minute arrivals.

Entrance and exit will be one way. In by the main doors and out by the patio doors and round the back of the church to avoid touching the gate and hand rails.

Please remember if you are attending the service in person rather than online you will need a face covering. To maintain social distancing you may may have a short wait while others take their seats. Also please do not arrive too early, a maximum of 10 minutes before the service starts at 10:30 should be sufficient to give a safe and orderly arrival and start to the service.

Thank you. We are looking forward to welcoming as many as want and can be safely accommodated back to Sunday’s service.

Important update.

We are changing our email address to bowthorpechurch@gmail.com Our existing email address will continue to work until the end of 2020. Please can you update your records and address book and start using the new email address now, thanks.
