South Warwickshire

With life and church services being altered due to the coronavirus situation, we have put this front page ahead of our usual home page which can be found here

This page will enable you to keep in touch with the Churches and Circuit at this time.

Recorded Service

Each week we provide a service which is an amalgam of contributions from a number of people within the Circuit.
The preacher is Nigel Saxton who reflects on suffering and how we are helped by following Jesus, and he reminds us to make time to spend with the God who loves us.
You can find the recorded service here here along with a service sheet here

Family Worship Time

Rev. Jemima Strain, Michael Sharman (Kenilworth and Dale Street's Children and Families Missioner) and Graeme Russell (Church and Community Missioner for Warwick, Whitnash and Wellesbourne) have teamed up to offer a new and exciting style of online worship for young families.

The new "Family Worship Time" premiers on the second and fourth Sunday of each month at 9.15am on YouTube and lasts approximately 20 minutes. This is the link to the playlist for Family Worship Time

Join the threesome as they have fun exploring God's love for us through Bible stories, action songs and interactive prayers. The services are full of colour and action, with laughter and fun mixed with the central message that God is for all and that Jesus welcomes and celebrates children's praise.

In their first video the team introduce themselves and explore a new blessing that will become a regular feature in future services.

Their next video (25th October) will explore "Jesus the light of the world"

Families in the Circuit may also want to join "Family Social Time" which is a fortnightly Zoom meeting which supplements these YouTube worship videos — please email us to request login details (swc.michaelsharman@gmail.com).
