The Future of Worship Survey - results and what next?

Here are some findings!

  • 250+ responses in 72 hours! - you care deeply about the future of your church.

  • 74% said their spirituality and faith had become more important due to COVID 19.

  • 60% were keen to attend church services in the building, with an open air option straightaway.

  • 90% indicated an openness to a change in venue if necessary for certain congregations.

Find the further analysis and some thoughts on what next HERE and join the zoom meeting at 4PM this Sunday to hear more about plans for September. See What’s on for the event and link to zoom.

Next Sunday is Messy Church online
A live service on zoom for everyone at 10am, with activities for the children. We’ll be making something to do with the 10 Plagues of Egypt, and the list of equipment you need is here:

  • An empty toilet roll 

  • Glue or sellotape

  • A piece of green paper roughly A5 size (or colour it in a plain piece.) If you have a colour printer, you can print the attached pdf of a piece of Green paper.pdf 
    Black pen

  • A small piece of white paper (about one inch by two inches)

OR you can sign up for Morning Worship at Busbridge Church, also at 10am.
A simple service for all congregations in the benefice of Busbridge&Hambledon, led by Margot Spencer. 

To maintain a distance of 2m between bubbles, space in church is limited.  If the church is full, sound will be transmitted by speaker in the churchyard too, and the ground has been marked for people to sit or stand 4m apart.

  • PLEASE SIGN UP - Go to What’s On, look down to the full calendar and select the event.

  • To help us cooperate with Test and Trace, you will be requested to sign in to services on church premises.  A welcomer will be on the door to take your name down, but it would help us to anticipate numbers, and be quicker when you arrive, if you sign up beforehand.

    PLEASE LEAVE THE CHURCH AND CHURCHYARD DIRECTLY AFTER THE SERVICE - we regret that it is not possible to stay and chat people after the service.

  • PLEASE CONSIDER WEARING A FACE MASK IN CHURCH. This is not a legal requirement for churches, and seating inside will be amply spaced to ensure social distancing, but for the safety of others, we encourage people to wear a face covering inside.

New Wine Breaks Out!
New Wine is an annual Christian event that a group from our church usually attends, with worship, teaching, ministry, seminars, and a fantastic youth and children’s programme. This year it’s online and free for all to access! Do watch the promotional video through this link  https://www.new-wine.org/breaksout

One of the joys of real life New Wine is meeting after sessions to chat and share a drink or 2, so we have set up Zoom rooms for after the evening session at 9pm. We can watch the session first, then meet to chat about what we’ve heard, and share a coffee or wine together. Do join us in the BHC public zoom room each evening 30th July to 2nd August.

On 2 August, the New Wine service at 11AM will stand in place of our main online service on YouTube, and we encourage everyone to join that worship.

ALL EVENTS THIS WEEK 20-25 July, and beyond, are listed on the calendar on the What’s On page.
