Sunday 12.00-12.45 to share and meet with those who have been worshipping. Meet up with
friends old and new and spend some time together.

We would like to encourage you to get
in touch if you would be willing to take part in our worship in any way; by playing a
song or doing a reading or leading a prayer, etc. It doesn’t matter what your
age or technical ability – if you want to contribute, we should be able to
help make that happen. Even if you can’t record a video clip on your phone, we
would be able to record something over the phone.
The Circuit runs 1:1 phone-call-based Sunday worship every Sunday
led by Connection Leaders. We are currently calling about 20 members of our congregations, who have no Wi-Fi access or who are in any special circumstances or need.
If you know of anyone who would like to join, contact Lucia.
Our Bow Monday evening prayer has changed from a phone call to a Zoom prayer room. It has been well-attended. We continue to invite the Bow Road congregation to our Prayer room with fellowship and sharing every Monday at 7pm. (except Bank holidays and school-term breaks)

Recorded messages and previous services available on the Facebook pageA time of reflection when you can’t attend a funeral
When someone you love dies, saying goodbye in some formal way is important. This is one of the reasons that throughout the generations we have gathered for funerals and memorial services. With the current restrictions on movement in place it may not be possible for everyone to attend a funeral.
We offer this short act of worship to help you say your formal goodbyes whist in your home.
