St John's Church Pendlebury, an Eco-Church   

What's On...

Holy Communion and Sunday School 

Our Sunday morning service is usually a service of Holy Communion, except the 4th Sunday which is a Family Service (see below). This usually lasts for around one hour, and there are separate activities for children of all ages which are held in the Church lounge (area at the back of Church). 

The Holy Communion service involves following the liturgy in the service book, with prayers, bible readings, hymns, a sermon and a chance to share in Holy Communion together. 

 

Family Service 

On the 4th Sunday of every month, instead of a Holy Communion service, we have a Family Service. This is particularly for younger families as there are no separate activities for the children, and the whole service is a opportunity for all ages to worship together.  

The service involves a story from the Bible being told in several parts, with songs throughout and a time to hear more about what we can learn from the Bible. The service lasts for approximately one hour, with drinks and snacks at the end.

 

Farsi Church

A service of Holy Communion is held in the Farsi language every Sunday at 2pm. We warmly invite everyone to join us for our worship service in the Farsi language followed by refreshments at 3pm. Come and join us for worship and fellowship.

لطفاً توجه داشته باشید که از ۶ ژوئیه ۲۰۲۵، مراسم فارسی یکشنبه‌ها ساعت ۲ بعد از ظهر برگزار خواهد شد.

از همه شما صمیمانه دعوت می‌کنیم تا در مراسم عبادت به زبان فارسی به ما بپیوندید.

این مراسم هر هفته ساعت ۲ بعد از ظهر آغاز می‌شود و با پذیرایی در ساعت ۳ بعد از ظهر ادامه خواهد داشت.

برای عبادت و مشارکت به ما بپیوندید.

 

Bible Study groups 

We host regular Bible Study sessions, which are open to everyone,  in the daytime and in the evening. 

Focus is our fortnightly Monday morning Bible study and fellowship group.  We meet in the Church Lounge from 10am to approximately 11am.

Explore is our mid-week evening group that meets on Wednesday from 7:30pm, with refreshments from around 7:15pm. 

See Calendar for dates of upcoming sessions. 

The purpose of our Focus and Explore groups is to learn more about God's word together. The Bible Study groups usually have different content. Focus tends to involve more standalone sessions, whereas Explore usually follows a "theme" for a number of weeks.

In both groups, the session usually involves reading a part of the Bible together and discussing what this means for us today in our own lives. All are welcome to join, whether new to faith or not, or for those interested in learning more about the Bible. 

The sessions are very informal, with plenty of conversation and opportunities to ask questions, discuss and learn together. 

 

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is our monthly outreach to the community for elderly and those who can’t get out so easily. We meet on the third Wednesday of every month (except January) between 2pm and 3.30pm in the church building where we generally have a speaker or entertainment, followed by a superb afternoon tea.  Anyone from the local community is welcome to come along. Do join for a free and delicious afternoon tea, and a chance to share conversation and fellowship in church. 

 

Messy Church 

Messy Church is a way of being church for families with messy, busy lives - all of us! For two hours on a Saturday afternoon in Church, we enjoy making a variety of crafts with a Jesus centred theme. We provide a toddlers' table too. Crafts and activities will be followed by a short time of celebration, where we hear a story together and pray. All very relaxed and informal. If you have never been before, why not try it out? The event is free - just come along (check calendar or Facebook for date of next Messy Church - usually the third Saturday of every month). We would love to see you!
