• 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.

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.

ReIgnite Worship – Sun 28th 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 next one is scheduled for 29th September at a Venue TBC. The videos below give a flavour of the evening…

Christianity Explored Course

We ran this informal course earlier this 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 later this year and you can register your interest by emailing us at chiltonhallchurch@gmail.com telling us you would like to attend.

Big Quiz for Tearfund 2024

We will again be hosting The Biq Quiz to raise funds for TEAR Fund on Saturday 16th November. Last year around 70 quizzers joined us to raise money for Tearfund. The winning team was ‘Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore’ but well done to all eleven teams who took part. The total raised in 2023 was exactly £350.00.

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.
