Summer Services 2026 -
The Bible Course
Our Table Church Services this summer will include material from The Bible Course, which is an ivervieew of God's big story, and where we fit into it, created by The Bible Society.
What is 'Table Church'?
Table Church is an informal approach to worshiping learning and growing together that has evolved at St Lawrence's. It arises out of a desire to include everyone, whatever their background, and to support one another as we explore together and discover more about living out our Christian faith. We gather round a great big table, as a family might do to share a speacial meal, and refreshments are served. Most of the elements you would usually expect to find in Sunday worship are included; such as stories from the Bible, prayers and songs. We learn and explore together through asking questions and sharing stories.
