First Sunday (9.30am)	Breakfast Church - we all stay together for breakfast and explore a Bible story through drama and discussion.
Second Sunday (10.30am)	Communion service - as part of our worship we celebrate Holy Communion (gluten free bread and non-alcoholic wine). Activities are provided for children.
Third Sunday (10.30am)	Hunger Lunch - as part of our worship we learn about charities near and far that focus on food poverty and disaster relief. A simple lunch is served after the service. Activities are provided for children.
Fourth Sunday (10.30am)	Communion service - as part of our worship we celebrate Holy Communion (gluten free bread and non-alcoholic wine). Activities are provided for children.
Fifth Sunday (11.00am)	Praise and worship service - we celebrate and give thanks for all that God is doing in our lives, our community and our world.

 

 

All our services

Begin with a warm welcome and the opportunity for chat over a hot drink or juice. (We pride ourselves on decent coffee!)

Breakfast Church

On the first Sunday of every month we meet at 9.30am with the addition of breakfast rolls with our usual refreshments. This is followed by our family-orientated service. Young and old together explore a Bible story through a mildly amusing drama and chats around the coffee tables. This is a great opportunity for those who are curious about the Christian faith to learn a little more in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Communion Services

On the 2nd and 4th of each month our service includes an act of Holy Communion. Here we remember the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we break bread and drink wine.
We have no set way or specific wording around these acts of remembering, though our normal practice is for the bread and wine to be served to you in your seats. We use individual communion cups to serve non-alcoholic wine and the bread is always gluten free. Anyone who is seeking to follow and love Jesus is free to share in our act of Holy Communion.

Hunger lunch

The third Sunday of the month is known as Hunger lunch. This is due to joining together at 12noon for soup and a sandwich to support a local or global charity that seek to provide relief for the poorest and most vulnerable. As we give thanks for our simple lunch we remember those who often have no food for their table. We encourage people to give to the nominated charity for the month an amount equivalent to a Sunday roast lunch.
We learn about the work of the nominated charity for the month within our Service. This enables us to pray for their work and enables those who cannot stay for the lunch to still hear about the work and financially contribute.
 

Fifth Sunday

We take our discipleship (following Jesus) seriously at Hooe Baptist Church and understand that this needs a certain level of support and accountability. Therefore when a 5th Sunday arises we take this opportunity for self-selecting accountability groups (normally consisting of 2 or 3 people) to meet before our half-hour praise and worship service at 11am.
Resources are available to help these groups, as they reflect honestly with each other in the four ‘S’ of discipleship:
Soul – How’s it going with God?
Study – How are you growing and maturing in faith?
Serving – How are you serving God, within and outside the church?
Sharing – How are you sharing your faith with others?
 

KidZone

On the 2nd/3rd and 4th weeks of each month, activities are held during the service for our younger children (aged 0-11). They start with their parent or adult-carer in the service. Someone will announce when it is time for them to go to their activities during the service. Please pick them up at the end of the service For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the Children's page.

Which ever Sunday you come, you can expect a warm welcome; great worship; relevant preaching based in the Word of God and a friendly group of people ready to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
