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!

Usually 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!).

This month (August) it's a bit different as we're meeting outdoors on the Green, weather permitting. Instead of songs and a craft there will be a puzzle / hunt to do on the Green, and a cream tea after the service.

We look forward to seeing you there!

COVID safety

For everyone's safety and peace of mind, we space out the seating, provide hand gel on each table and ventilate the room as much as possible.

We kindly ask that you show respect for others by maintaining social distancing and good hygeine practices. Thank you.

This Month's Bible Story

Luke 10:25-37 "The Good Samaritan"

We will be telling a dramatised version of this story from the Lion Storyteller Bible

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:25-37 - Good News TranslationThe Parable of the Good Samaritan - A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?” The man answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’” “You are right,” Jesus replied; “do this and you will live.” But the teacher of the Law wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

This Month's Food

Cream tea - scones, jam, cream, tea / coffee / squash

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!
