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 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.
