Sunday Worship Morning We meet at 10.30am every Sunday in Clifton Community Centre for morning worship. We seek to worship God together by singing, praying, and reading and learning from the Bible. The service usually lasts about 1h15m and we enjoy spending time getting to know each other better over a cup of tea afterwards. There is a creche provided during the second half of the service along with a Sunday School for those up to Year 6 (term time only). There are occasions throughout the year where the timings and/or location differs. Check the website and facebook page for up to date information of any special events. For additional information about Sundays see our "What to Expect " section. Sunday, 10:30am Clifton Community Centre Sunday, 6:00pm Providence Baptist Church Evening Evening worship takes place at the church building at 6.00pm. As in the morning, the Bible, prayer and singing are central to what we do. During this service, we aim to grow in our faith and learn to live more like Jesus. On the 3rd Sunday of the month we incorporate the Lord’s table into the service and particularly remember the death of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. We encourage all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and are trusting Him as their Saviour to take part. There are occasions throughout the year where the timings and/or location differs.

If you've never been before, a Sunday Service is a great place to start. Everyone is welcome! Walking into a new church can be a bit daunting, especially if you're not used to it. Even if you go to church regularly, different churches do some things differently so it's good to know what to expect! Where are you? Who can attend? Sunday mornings we meet at: Clifton Community Centre, Whiston Crescent, SG17 5HJ. There is ample parking in the large car park within the Community Centre gates. In the evening we meet at: Providence Chapel, 118 Shefford Road, SG17 5RF. There is limited parking out the front so if parking on a side street or main road please do be considerate of the neighbours! What about children? If you have children please bring them along with you. We know they fidget and make noises at inappropriate times, but don't worry we're quite used to it. If you feel uncomfortable and want to take them out for a bit we provide a supervised creche for the very little ones (up to age 3). During the service, usually early on, there will be a part for the children. Someone from the church will often sing a song with them and teach them a truth from the Bible. At around 11am all the children will be invited to attend various Sunday School classes. These cater for children from 3 up to around age 11 and will include age appropriate teaching and activities. However, if you would prefer they stay in the service with you that's absolutely fine. All are welcome. We are a multi-generational and multi-cultural church family. Whether you are old or young; have been to church all your life or never before; whether you would say you were a Christian, have no faith at all, or are just searching; you are very welcome to join us for a Sunday service. What do I wear? There is no dress code, please come in whatever reasonable and modest clothing you are comfortable wearing. What happens? We aim to have a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who comes. If you are unsure what to do or where to sit, speak to one of the church members who will be stood near the door to greet you on arrival. Certain elements are central to every service: singing, praying, reading the Bible and, most importantly, Christ-centred preaching which is where someone will seek to explain the part of the Bible that has been read. After the formal part of the service is over, people often stay around to chat. If you are visiting, do come and make yourself known to us, we'd love to get to know you.
