Everyone is welcome to our services, and we are always delighted to see newcomers in any of our churches. We welcome members of other Christian churches to receive Holy Communion or, if you feel more comfortable, please come forward with the rest of the congregation to receive a blessing.
If you are unable to get to church, members of Church at Castle will visit you at home, and the Ministry Team will gladly arrange for Communion to be given at home to anyone who wishes it.

The sale will take place at the Church Gate if fine, otherwise inside the church.

If you would like to join the team of bakers please contact the Parish Office. Enjoy a cake and coffee inside the church or in the garden.
During the Season of Creation we warmly invited everyone to join the three parish churches in a celebration of the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. It will be a service of the word to which we also invite you to bring your pet animals for a blessing as part of the whole of Creation. They will be welcome in the church with you. The music will be enhanced by the Gallery Quire.
Please ensure that you have your pet restrained on a leash, in a carrier or in their normal secure housing. There is parking behind the church and a garden where you can stretch your legs (2 or 4 or more!). If your pet is unusual or unusually large, please contact the parish office. Refreshments are provided after the service.
The service will be followed by a guided walk into town to discover the animals hidden in Cambridge’s streets and colleges. Details are here.
