Our rhythms | Community Church Harlesden

We have shared rhythms that help us follow Jesus and live well in community with one another:

Sunday afternoons - We meet every Sunday at The Lighthouse in Harlesden. We start with coffee at 15:45, the meeting begins at 16:00 and we finish by 17:30. We have a weekly pattern of worship which draws on various liturgical traditions. Each gathering includes sung worship, communion, a member of the church sharing about their life, a short reflection, a time for prayer and lament, and a blessing. We run a sunday school and creche.

Small groups

Many people in the church are involved in small groups (3–5 people) that meet at different times during the week. These groups often work through a book or topic, or simply meet to pray together.

Worship nights

Every few months, we gather for an extended period of worship and prayer together.

Rest

We have settled into an annual rhythm of life as a church, including periods of rest. We find that being intentional about this provides a space for reflection and peace. As part of this, we pause our Sunday morning meetings in August and encourage each other to meet in homes or visit other local churches.

Retreat

Once a year we head out of London for a church weekend away together. We invite a guest speaker to lead us through sessions of reflection and vision-setting, with plenty of time set aside to enjoy outdoor activities and spending time together as a community!

We enjoy working in close relationship with several other churches in our local area. We are part of the Forge network of churches. Community Church Harlesden is a company limited by guarantee (no. 6370416) and a registered charity (no. 1121958).
