All Souls Service

Each year, the Church sets aside a special time to remember loved ones who have gone before us. Our All Souls Service is a gentle and reflective occasion, where we read aloud the names of those we wish to remember, light candles in their memory, and spend time together in prayer and thanksgiving.

Everyone is warmly welcome, you do not need to have had a funeral at our churches to take part. If you would like a loved one’s name included, please email it to admin@newcreationchurches.org.uk.
By sending us a name, you are consenting for it to be read aloud in church and shared on the livestream of the service.

In recent years we have also followed the beautiful South American tradition of placing lit tealights on graves in the churchyard after the service, and all are welcome to join in this act of remembrance.

Congresbury Youth Partnership – Code Club

Congresbury Youth Partnership run a Code Club for young people aged 8 to 16 on Mondays in term time from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Would be coders can drop in at any time after their school day finishes, and get involved with projects using SCRATCH and PYTHON coding languages and simple electronics.

These sessions are not like school; they are full of fun, hands on and providing very practical skills.  

Interest from adult volunteers with any basic IT skills who could support young people would be very welcome.  We would especially like to hear from young people looking for Duke of Edinburgh scheme placements meeting criteria for volunteering or skills units.  Contact us at congresburycodeclub@gmail.com, or drop in to Congresbury Youth Club during Monday sessions.
