Fellowship

Friday Morning Coffee

All are welcome to come to the hall at Crowmoor for coffee from 9.30am to 11am for refreshments and a chat. There is plenty of activity as the FoodShare is also taking place and Knitwits.

Knitwits

A small group of “Knitwits” meet on a Friday morning between 10 and 11am to knit and crochet for various charities, and we enjoy supporting each other over a chat and a cuppa and a few biscuits.
The group has supported many charities, both at home and abroad, and regularly contribute to the work of “Operation Sabre” which involves knitting garments as Christmas presents for children in Romania. We love to see new knitters. Donations of wool are appreciated to help us support good causes.

First Tuesday

Our over 55s meet once a month at Crowmoor for a time of fellowship over coffee from 10.15am to 11.45am. An invited speaker, for example from a charity or Christian organisation, is usually the focus of the meeting, providing an interesting talk with the opportunity for questions and discussion. The annual trip to Llandudno in the summer and Christmas lunch in December are highlights.

Food and Fella-ship

This is our men's Food and Fella-ship Group! Fellas join us for great food, meaningful conversations, and lasting friendships. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind after a long day, connect with like-minded men, or just enjoy a hearty meal, this is the perfect gathering for you. Our group meets monthly, on the second Monday of each month, at various restaurants etc around Shrewsbury, to share good food, encouraging discussions, and create a sense of brotherhood that strengthens our faith and friendships.

Holiday at Home

An opportunity for the over 50s to spend three days together in the summer. For two days there is a full programme of fun activities and speakers, with a good lunch, taking place at the Crowmoor. On our middle day there is a trip out. A ride on the Welshpool Steam Railway was a great success last year, when new friends were made as we travelled through the Welsh hills enjoying the fabulous scenery.

Planning your Visit

New to Church? A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at Crowmoor (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team, who will introduce themselves to you.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10am, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the rear of the main auditorium and in our annex building.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30 am. We share items of news and other notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the Church. We will have a time of sung worship, led by our worship group. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. We usually have an all age talk before the children go out to their groups, when there is a time of prayer and intercession, followed by a Bible based sermon that we can apply to our everyday lives. There will be prayer during the service and on the 1st Sunday in the month we share communion together. The service finishes with some more worship songs. There is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my children

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family and there is often an all-age talk before the children leave for their groups. At some point in the service it will be announced that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

The children's group activities vary depending on their age. There is a creche and junior church for primary school aged children, with a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, craft, and games. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
