Crook Peak Parish is made up of the villages of Badgworth, Biddisham, Christon, Compton Bishop & Cross, Loxton and Weare.
We are a small rural parish (population about 1,750), with an active and friendly congregation
There are normally three services on a Sunday, moving around the churches. The 10.00am is usually at Weare, as this is the most suitable for working with children. Details of the services and where they take place will be found in “Contact”, the parish magazine which appears every two months and also on the “Services” page.
We welcome families with young children, and are happy to cope if youngsters are a bit noisy. On the first Sunday in the month we have “Crook Peak Praise”, which is a time of simple, all-age worship. On other Sundays we run a Sunday School called “Sunday Gang”, and have a children’s corner with toys and books for those too young for Sunday Gang and the Church Room is always open should you need changing facilities. When there is a Communion Service, the children come back in to be with their parents and come up to the altar for a blessing.
The Priest-in-Charge is Ken Brown, who has been appointed on a part-time basis, and is not normally available on Fridays or Saturdays.
We run house groups for those who would like to enjoy midweek fellowship. We also have a prayer chain, and so if you, or someone you know, needs prayer urgently you are invited to get in touch. We do observe confidentiality in this.
Not all is serious, however, and we enjoy a varied social programme, with almost any excuse for a meal or a party.
If you would like to come and join us, you can be sure of a warm welcome.
