Welcome

​

Christ Church Crookham is the parish church of Church Crookham and Crookham Village and is situated on Gally Hill Road in the heart of the community. 

Our worship services are varied, to meet the different spiritual needs of our Parish. Our aim in worship is to make a meeting place with God and with one another.

We offer a warm welcome to you at our church.

Christ Church Crookham COVID Transition Policy

We have entered a ‘Transition’ period, as we gradually move from the former strict COVID regulations towards greater freedom. This period is one of continued anxiety for many, and our approach will be one of respecting other people’s sense of safety.
1. We are allowed to sing, and will do so.
2. Although we don’t have to socially distance, we will have fewer chairs in Church so as to allow each person more space. We will encourage all to respect each other’s space.
3. At first, we will continue to share the peace with a wave, though individuals may agree to do so with personal contact. As time passes, we hope gradually to return to physical contact as a norm.
4. We will continue to keep records of who attends our services, asking everyone to sign in on entry.
5. Everyone has a right to wear a facemask if they choose.
6. We will encourage people to continue to sanitise their hands.
7. We will take communion in both bread and wine, the wafer being ‘intincted’ – ie. being touched to the wine by the priest.
8. We will continue to use the North door (the one across from the car park) as our main entrance, but any exit may be used at the end.
9. Coffee and tea will be served from the 1st of August.
10. The underlying practice which I ask of everyone is to have respect for others.

Crookham Diary

A new feature on the website: the Crookham Diary. I’ll be starting it off with a posting every few days or so, but we hope that eventually others will contribute too. The aim is to show, in a fairly light-hearted way, how life and faith work together.
