Greens Norton Parish Church
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.
Services:
1st and 3rd 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
2nd Sunday of the month – 8:00 Holy Communion Morning Praise at 11:00. This service is lay led. This 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
4th Sunday of the month – 11.00 Morning Prayer (Matins). Lay led (usually) for those who prefer the language of the 1662 Service from the BCP.
St Bartholomews is now part of the Tove Benefice under Towcester. On the 5th
Sunday of the month is a Benefice Service at one of the Tove Benefice
churches which is notified in the Benefice Newsletter from Towcester.
We have a licenced Lay Pastoral Minister who visits sick, elderly, bereaved
folk and can give home communion if requested and a licenced Parish
Evangelist.
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.
