Easter 2025 at CHCC

We had an awesome over the Easter week at CHCC starting with songs of praise at Langham manor on Sunday 13th April, then services at Grace Cook School on Good Friday followed by a fantastic morning of fun at our Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun event on Easter Satureday. Thank you to all who came along – we gave away 70 easter eggs and books and the hall was heaving with excitement and activity with excited children and their families. On Easter Sunday we held an all-age service which was well attended and gave us a further opportunity to reflect and praise God for the love He shows us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thanks too for all the hard work our own team put in. It is deeply appreciated.

We are very excited to call Grace Cook Primary School our home in Fuller Way, Chilton Leys, Stowmarket, IP14 1GG. It is a lovely facility and we meet every Sunday at 10:30am and we would love you to join us.

• a prayer led by one of our church family
• teaching from the Bible
• a final song, prayer or sometimes a chat about our theme for the day
• we also have a prayer room for confidential prayer with anyone who would like that.
• after the service we have the opportunity to spend time together as a church family having a catch up and getting to know one another better – and more tea/coffee and biscuits!

There is no dress code, no-one is excluded, no equipment or church experience is necessary and there is no requirement to understand the Christian faith in depth. Please just come as you are.

The Big Quiz 2024

A Big thank you to all who joined us for The Big Quiz 2024 for Tearfund on Saturday 16th November in the hall at Grace Cook Primary School. Around 70 quizzers joined us to raise £470.00 for Tearfund in a fun-filled and brain-straining evening. Congratulations to our winning team ‘Les Quizerables’ but thanks to all who made it such a fun evening. We are already planning to make it four Big Quiz years in a row in 2025.

ReIgnite Worship – July 2024

We were so privileged to be able to host the lastest ReIgnite Worship evening at Grace Cook Primary School. Just managing to fit all the cars in the car park we had approaching 100 people from many local churches who met together for an evening of praise to God. The video below gives a flavour of the evening…

Christianity Explored Course

We ran this informal course last year in the home of one of our church family on Chilton Hall Estate. Preceeded by a meal together we had a wonderful time on this course exploring the good news about Jesus.
We will be holding another CE course after Easter and you can register your interest by emailing us at chiltonhallchurch@gmail.com telling us you would like to attend.

Harvest at CHCC

We had a lovely, lively time at both our Harvest Supper on Tuesday 3rd October at ‘The Barn’ and at our Harvest Family service on Sunday 8th October at Grace Cook School. The supper was delicioius and we also enjoyed the entertainment provided afterwards by Steve. Thanks to all involved.

Our family service included childen’s songs and stories, five different craft activities which were enjoyed by all ages, including ice the biscuit and wreath making. Following on from that we looked at the story of Ruth and Boaz in the Bible, even doing some harvesting together as we learned how God encourages us to share what we have with those who need help. We also sang some lovely Harvest hymns together, both old and new. We also had a lovely display of items collected for Stowmarket Foodbank.
