Community on the Green - Jesus feeds 5000

We are next meeting:

Sunday 16th March 2025

4:00 - 5:30 pm

Hampton Park Pavilion, Bishopdown Farm

This month's theme:

Jesus Feeds 5000!

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 9:10-17 - Common English BibleJesus feeds the five thousand - When the apostles returned, they described for Jesus what they had done. Taking them with him, Jesus withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida. When the crowds figured it out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about God’s kingdom, and healed those who were sick. When the day was almost over, the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so that they can go to the nearby villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in a deserted place.” He replied, “You give them something to eat.” But they said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.” (They said this because about five thousand men were present.) Jesus said to his disciples, “Seat them in groups of about fifty.”

This Month's Craft

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

If you're a bit of a craft-enthusiast and would rather bring your own resources (watercolours, embroidery, crochet anyone...?) to do your own activity during this time you are very welcome!

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!
