Community on the Green

We are next meeting:

Sunday 18th October 2026

4:00 - 5:30 pm

Hampton Park Pavilion, Bishopdown Farm

This week's theme:

My Sheep Is Found!

Come and join us for a fresh and family-friendly Sunday afternoon service together followed by tea!

What to expect

Firstly, a warm welcome! Whether you are young or old, coming with a horde of children or on your own, you've never set foot in a church before or you're a regular, you are very welcome to join us here!

You will be invited to take a seat at one of the Cafe tables ready for our service, which will include a dramatised Bible story, a short talk, some worship songs and a craft activity before we join in a simple shared meal together (we even provide the food!).

We look forward to seeing you there!

This Month's Bible Story

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 15:1-7 - The MessageThe Story of the Lost Sheep - By this time a lot of men and women of questionable reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently. The Pharisees and religion scholars were not pleased, not at all pleased. They growled, “He takes in sinners and eats meals with them, treating them like old friends.” Their grumbling triggered this story. “Suppose one of you had a hundred sheep and lost one. Wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until you found it? When found, you can be sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing, and when you got home call in your friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Celebrate with me! I’ve found my lost sheep!’ Count on it—there’s more joy in heaven over one sinner’s rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.

This Month's Craft

We will be providing the resources for a simple craft activity (suitable for children).

This Month's Food

Our shared meal together will be a simple tea. Typically this might include a sausage roll or mini cheese, a bag of crisps, a piece of fruit, a cake bar, and a carton of juice. Tea & coffee also provided!

Sharing a meal together like this provides a great chance to chat and get to know each better.

Where to find us

We meet at the Hampton Park Pavilion

Ash Crescent, Salisbury, SP1 3GY

How much does it cost?

Our family-friendly services including craft and a shared tea are all free to come along to!

But we do have expenses we need to pay, such as hiring the Pavilion hall and providing food. So if you are able to give a donation to help us cover our expenses, that would be great, thank you!
