Community on the Green - The Good Seed

Sunday 15th May 2022

Hampton Park Pavilion, Bishopdown Farm

The Good Seed

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!

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 Songs

This Month's Bible Story

Matthew 13:1-9 "The Parable of the Sower"

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 13:1-9 - Good News TranslationThe Parable of the Sower - That same day Jesus left the house and went to the lakeside, where he sat down to teach. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it, while the crowd stood on the shore. He used parables to tell them many things. “Once there was a man who went out to sow grain. As he scattered the seed in the field, some of it fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some of it fell on rocky ground, where there was little soil. The seeds soon sprouted, because the soil wasn't deep.

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

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

At the moment, our shared meal together consists of a simple tea packed in individual paper bags (to reduce Covid risks). 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!
