Browse freely — reserving a seat needs an account.
Two and a half hours of music with no sermon and no offering. The band from New Hope leads, three other churches join, and the room stays open afterwards for anyone who wants to sit a while longer. Doors at half six. Come late if you must; nobody will look.

One long table, whatever is in season, and no expectation that you believe anything in particular. We have done this every first Sunday since 1998. Bring someone or come by yourself — both are normal here.

We fill and hand out eight hundred backpacks for schools across east Charlotte. Volunteers needed from nine; families welcome from eleven. No paperwork, no proof of anything — if your child needs a bag, take a bag.

Sung evening prayer, forty-five minutes, the same shape it has had for four hundred years. The choir is small and very good. If you have never been to one of these, it asks nothing of you but to sit and listen.
Wed, Sep 16, 2026 · 6:30 PM ET
Eggs, grits, and a short talk that finishes on time. Third Saturday of the month. The coffee is genuinely good, which is not something every church can say.
Sat, Sep 19, 2026 · 8:00 AM ET
All night, ages 12 to 18. Games, a lot of pizza, two hours of actual sleep if anyone is lucky. Parents must sign the form at drop-off. Collection from seven the next morning, and please be on time — the leaders will have been awake for twenty-four hours.
Fri, Sep 25, 2026 · 8:00 PM ET – Sat, Sep 26, 2026 · 7:00 AM ET
Eleven weeks of dinner, a short talk and a conversation where any question is allowed and nothing is expected of you at the end. Most people come knowing nobody. Come to the first one and decide after.
Wed, Sep 30, 2026 · 7:00 PM ET
The biggest day in our calendar. Service in English and Twi, full choir, and a meal afterwards that takes most of the afternoon. Wear what you would wear at home. Everyone is fed, invited or not.
Sun, Oct 4, 2026 · 10:00 AM ET
Seven weeks, one evening a week, for couples at any stage. No group sharing — every conversation is between the two of you at your own table. Dinner included. Book the whole course; the weeks build on each other.
Wed, Oct 7, 2026 · 7:00 PM ET
An afternoon of hymns chosen by whoever turns up. Someone calls a number, the organ finds it, everybody sings. The average age is seventy-four and the singing is louder than you would expect.
Sun, Oct 11, 2026 · 4:00 PM ET
Three courses and a short, honest account of where the money goes. This year it funds the tutoring programme and the winter shelter partnership. Tables of ten if you want to bring people; single seats if you would rather not.
Sat, Oct 17, 2026 · 6:30 PM ET
Eight-a-side, ages 11 to 16, teams from six churches across the city. Register as a team or turn up alone and we will find you one. Bring shin pads; the referees are volunteers and their patience is finite.
Sat, Oct 24, 2026 · 9:00 AM ET
We read the names of everyone in this church who died this year, and light a candle for each. If you have someone you would like named, tell the office by the Wednesday before. This service is open to anyone grieving, whether you belong here or not.
Sun, Nov 1, 2026 · 10:00 AM ET
The first of the winter worship nights. New songs written by people in this church, played properly, in a room that sounds good. Free, but ticketed, because last year we ran out of floor.
Sat, Nov 7, 2026 · 7:00 PM ET
Every Saturday morning, no questions asked and no forms to fill in. Fresh produce, tinned goods, nappies and toiletries. If you can carry more than you need, take it to a neighbour.
Sat, Nov 14, 2026 · 10:00 AM ET
A day of silence with three short addresses, kept properly — phones off and left in a basket at the door. Lunch is taken without speaking, which is stranger and better than it sounds. Thirty-five places only.
Sat, Nov 21, 2026 · 9:30 AM ET
Forty stalls run by people in the church and the neighbourhood, mulled wine from noon, and a brass band at two. Everything raised goes to the night shelter. Free to come in; bring cash for the stalls.
Sat, Nov 28, 2026 · 11:00 AM ET
Ages 4 to 11. Making, painting, far too much glitter, and a short nativity at the end that nobody rehearses. Parents can stay or go — there is coffee if you stay.
Sat, Dec 5, 2026 · 10:00 AM ET
Nine lessons and a great many carols, by candlelight, with the choir and anyone else who wants to sing. Mince pies afterwards. Wrap up — the hall is old and the heating is a matter of opinion.
Sun, Dec 20, 2026 · 6:00 PM ET
We see the year out together, as we have every year since this church began. Singing, testimony, and the last hour in prayer. It finishes when it finishes, usually a little before one.
Thu, Dec 31, 2026 · 10:00 PM ET – Fri, Jan 1, 2027 · 12:45 AM ET
