What's on

Midweek Holy Communion / Morning Prayer

Every Wednesday at for 30 mins
St John the Evangelist, Corby Glen
Church Street Corby Glen Grantham NG33 4NJ, NG33 4NJ, United Kingdom

A prayerful, quietly reflective service of Holy Communion is held at 10 am every Wednesday at St John's Church, Corby Glen

Should a priest not be available for any reason, a service of Morning Prayer led by an authorised lay minister is held instead

Sunday Morning Worship with Sunday School

Every First, Third Sunday at for 1 hour
St John the Evangelist, Corby Glen
Church Street Corby Glen Grantham NG33 4NJ, NG33 4NJ, United Kingdom

On the first and third Sundays of each month, the services of Morning Worship starting at 11am at Corby Glen Church will include a special Sunday School run by a qualified, experienced teacher.

We will start the service together at 11am in St John’s Church, and after the first hymn or song, the Sunday School will go to the Church Street Rooms Conservatory. Parents/carers can choose to stay in the church and enjoy the service there, or go with their children to the Sunday School.

Activities might include crafts, learning a new song to teach to the rest of the congregation, storytelling, digging deeper into a verse from the Bible, plus a time of prayer – all connected with the worship taking place in the church itself. Most activities will be aimed at ages from 3 years to 10, but other ages are very welcome.

After 25 minutes or so, the Sunday School will rejoin the congregation in St John’s, and show everyone what they have been doing. We’ll then enjoy singing the final hymn or song together, before ending our Morning Worship with a prayer.

All-Age Sunday Worship with Holy Communion

Monthly. Every Second Sunday at for 1 hour
St John the Evangelist, Corby Glen
Church Street Corby Glen Grantham NG33 4NJ, NG33 4NJ, United Kingdom

Not everyone finds going to church on Sunday mornings particularly easy, especially when organised sports and other activities are demanding attention. Sunday afternoons are better for many.

So, on the second Sunday of each month, starting at 3pm, St John’s Church, Corby Glen, will be holding a series of special services for EVERYONE, whatever their age, whether they are used to going to church or not.

The service will be led by the Rural Dean, Revd Stephen Buckman, whom many in the area will already know – for example, from his ministry over many years with the two local schools.

During the service there will be an opportunity to receive a personal blessing or (if this is part of your faith) the bread and wine of Holy Communion.

Do join us – a warm welcome is assured for all!

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
