For a thousand years people have worshipped at St. Bartholomew’s Church. The joy and love of God is the cornerstone of our community, and you will find a warm welcome. We will soon be part of an enlarged Anglican fellowship with churches in the Towcester benefice, but the variety of services will be unchanged. From those who enjoy the rich liturgy and tradition of Matins and the Book of Common Prayer to those who are looking for livelier contemporary worship, St Bartholomew’s has something to offer. We have a Sunday School, two lay people training for Pastoral care and Evangelism, and an enthusiastic team who want to take the message of the grace and love of God to the community.

1^st and 3^rd Sunday of the month – Holy Communion at 11:00, ASB. Here the Eucharist is at the heart of the service, Sunday school and refreshments at the end

2^nd Sunday of the month – Matins at 09:45 and Praise and Worship at 11:00. These services are both lay led. The Praise and Worship service is a more informal act of worship led by a worship group. Children are part of this service. Refreshments at the end

4^th Sunday of the month – Book of Common Prayer at 08:00 and the Family service at 11:00. The family service is very much centred on our children and family life, with teaching and songs. Refreshments at the end.

Every Wednesday at 07:00 we have a group which meets for prayer in the church. An informal gathering where we pray for God’s guidance for our church, its future, its people, for our community and the wider world.

Every alternate Tuesday a house group meets; these groups study the bible, discuss a wide variety of topics and are a great place to learn more about Christianity in an informal way.

Every Thursday the bell ringers meet and are always pleased to welcome new people.
