Sunday Worship

Sunday Morning Worship at 10.30 am each week


Services are usually led by a Minister or a Local Preacher; however, we occasionally have "own arrangement" services where our members and worship leaders plan the service. Details of preachers are given in the Circuit Plan (pdf).

Each service will reflect the personality and gifts of whoever is leading worship; however, we usually:
  • stand to sing hymns/songs;
  • sit to say prayers to God thanking Him for His goodness, saying sorry for things we've done/said to hurt others, and asking for His love and support for those in need;
  • sit to listen to readings from the bible;
  • sit to hear interpretations of what those bible readings mean to us in today's world;
  • take a collection - this helps with the upkeep of the church, pays for Ministers' salaries and goes towards the work of God in Thackley, the Bradford North Circuit of churches and the wider world. Please don't feel obliged to give; you will notice that many of our members let the collection bag pass by them - many give regularly via Direct Debit. We usually stand up as the collection is brought forward for a blessing. 
We are a family friendly church and recognise that young ones are inquisitive and full of energy. So, if you have children there is no need to feel embarrassed if they want to roam around to explore their surroundings.

During winter months we hold our services in the Community Hall which helps to reduce our carbon footprint.

Holy Communion


On the night before Jesus died on the cross, he instructed his followers to remember him by eating bread and drinking wine together as symbols of his body and blood given for us so that our wrongs are forgiven. We continue to do this every month or so in the form of Holy Communion when we receive a small piece of bread and a small glass of communion wine during the service. Everyone is welcome to receive Holy Communion; however, if you prefer, you can either remain in your seat or come forward with your hymn book in your hand to receive a blessing rather than bread and wine.

Refreshments 


We serve refreshments (free) after the service so we can have a cuppa and a chat, get to know each other and lend support where we can.

A warm welcome awaits you. We hope you will visit us soon. Our Door Stewards will gladly guide you on your arrival; however, if you prefer, please contact us so we can arrange for someone to meet you on arrival and sit with you during the service.
