Fully Open Again!

We are delighted to say our building is once again now open. We’ve undergone a rigorous process of risk assessments and streamlining rooms, and ensuring our partners have the right controls in place to keep us all as safe.

Our Pop-up Friday café and Thursday craft drop-in have re-launched and we are evolving as we go along. Most community groups have already begun to offer their usual activities, including Tuesday Playtime, and we are welcoming some new friends as the year rolls on.

Worship

Hybrid Zoom on Sunday 10:30am

We now offer Sunday worship physically each week, including young church. We will still be welcoming friends online, via Zoom, or sometimes a livestream on our YouTube channel. We are also open for prayer at our sister churches of Holgate (Thursday 10:30) and Southlands (Wednesdays 2:30) as well as here at Acomb (Sunday 9:15am). We’d continue to love it if you joined us either physically or virtually for Sunday worship, at 10:30am each Sunday. To join us online, see links and information below, or you could join one of the alternate Digital services our group of 30 churches offer online across York. If Sundays aren’t for you, look our for Quiet Days and other events across the week.

You are warmly invited to join us for our Hybrid Zoom services: hosted physically at Acomb Methodist, it is possible to connect in with them via Zoom. Our next services, at 10:30am will be:

31st October 2021 – Joint (3 Churches – Acomb, Holgate and Southlands) at Acomb Methodist: All Age Worship led by Rev Andy (+ Zoom)

7th November 2021 – Angela Storer

1st Sundays

For those who would prefer, on the first Sunday of a month Rev Andy will be leading a Zoom bible study at 10:30am as part of his ministry within the Kairos Movement. More details of this can be found on the Kairos website.

Restarted – Board Game Afternoons

For something more social, why not join us on the same Sunday’s for our newly re-started monthly Board Game Afternoons from 3-5pm, for the whole family. Starts again from 7th November 2021.

Community Cinema Relaunch

We are hoping to restart our much loved and missed community cinema as soon as is feasible. Most of our existing team has stepped down, and so we are building a new team. If you’d like to be a part of it, contact Rev Andy for more details.

We are now only uploading our Livestreamed services to YouTube on occasion, but you are welcome to join us on Zoom most weeks. Below we include worship livestreamed from Acomb on 19th September 2021, led by Neil Craig

To join us for all the live services online, just use the Zoom details below, or by signing up for our mailchimp database. (Do email us as well, as we have to tag you for the various mailing lists!)

We have begun to offer Quiet Days using our beautiful Quiet Garden. If you need a bit of time out, do join us on 30th October.

You can also join us for a short 10-15 minute Morning 7:30am or Evening 9:00pm prayer time on Zoom, or at 9:15am Sunday mornings in person at Acomb.

Or for an extended time of prayer, you could join our monthly Quiet Space on Zoom. The next one will take place on 26th October.

The link below is for the previous circuit service. This is also available each week, at the same time as our Zoom, so if you would like to watch it live, or afterwards, then click subscribe and you will be sent a link each week. Feel free to join us, after our Zoom, for coffee. If you’d like to watch both, I will try and post them on this email each week.

We usually linger after worship to continue to ‘be church’, in conversation in different physical church groups. This is the time where we catch up with one another, share concerns, and develop ways in which we might express God’s love in our context practically…so do stay for that if you are able.

November will see us relaunch our board game afternoons. See our events page for more details. We are also seeking to re-launch our community cinema, but need a new team. If you can help, let us know.
