In the Community 

ASR: Village Show

The church plays an active part in the life of our village and serves the wider community

Brook House services

Once a month on a Thursday morning at 11.15am we host a service for the residents of Brook House where members of the congregation join with some of the residents for a short service. We join together for some well-known traditional hymns that most of the residents recognise and enjoy singing. We have a short reading, a talk which often relates to the resident's daily lives or times they can remember and prayers. After the service we have a chance to say hello to friends old and new.

Riseley Church of England Primary School

ASR: RPS

We have a friendly and interactive relationship with our Church of England Primary School in Riseley.

Among other things, members of the ministry team take weekly assemblies and midweek groups in the school. The school comes up to the church four times a year for services at Harvest, Christmas, Easter and the Leavers Service in the Summer. Other trips are made from different classes at various points, to explore the building and to find out more about what the church is all about.

As well as regularly praying for the school, the church is also responsible for appointing foundation governors to the school, whose job it is to ensure that the school, the staff and every pupil in it flourishes in learning and in life.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome. Our welcome team will answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. Our services usually last about an hour. On the way in you will receive a service sheet which will help guide you through the service and includes everything you will need to know. Please let the welcome team know if you need a large print service sheet. Every Sunday we sing, pray and hear a talk explaining a passage from the Bible. Once a month we take communion during the service, this is usually on the fourth Sunday.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

The first Sunday of the month is usually an All Age Service, designed to be accessible to people of all ages. On other Sundays we have fantastic children's groups for:

Roots (pre-school age children). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/carer at all times.
Shoots (School year R-3)
Fruits (School years 4-9)

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service. Halfway through the service children are invited to go to their groups, which meet in different parts of the church building where they always have a lot of fun! Parents then collect their children at the end of the service. All leaders are DBS checked.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups under church life or contact Sam Toseland our Children and Families Worker. 

Is there a dress code?
