The Haven

🙏🏼 T H E H A V E N I S M O V I N G 🙏🏼

This Sunday (31st May) is our last Sunday at West Park Academy! We’d love you to join us as we give thanks for all the God has done, is doing and will continue to do through His church here!

BUT!! This is just a change, not an ending. From the 7th June there’ll be a new pattern of worship and a new venue, the Haven will continue to meet at the same time, at our mother church St Mary's Cockerton. The new pattern is below:

1st Sundays: No ‘Haven’ service but we’re encouraging our congregation to join in with the 10am Family service or the 6pm Reflective service, both at St. Mary’s.
2nd Sundays: Haven Eucharist, 3.30pm meet for coffee then 4pm start.
3rd Sundays: Haven Collective worship (lay led service) at the usual time!
4th Sundays: Haven Eucharist, 3.30pm meet for coffee then 4pm start.
5th Sundays: Missional outreach into the community

We’ll continue to meet for prayers in the park outside Cactus cafe on Wednesdays at 9.30am and we’ll also still have 6.45am morning prayer on zoom 🙏🏼

Please DM us if you’d like any more information or have any questions!! ‘Be strong and courageous’ ♥️

This Sunday we’re answering some questions that were posted anonymously in our box! 4th Sundays are more relaxed and conversational services where we can receive, ponder, doubt, wonder and question!

As ever, 3.30pm for coffee and the service starts at 4pm at West Park Academy! DM us any questions of your own that you may have - no topic is off the table!!

Alleluia!! Christ is risen!

Tomorrow we celebrate the risen Christ with a dawn service in West Park! It’ll start at 6.30am but we’ll be meeting at the gates near the play area at 6.15am if you’d like to walk up with us! We’re expecting some wind thanks to storm ‘Dave’ so we’ll now be meeting within the circular centre of the park rather than up on the hill.

Do dress appropriately for the weather and bring a torch with you if you’d like, or use your phone’s light 💡 Please note, there’ll be NO afternoon service at the Haven, our main act of worship will be at Dawn 🙏🏼 as an alternative, there is also an Easter Eucharist at St Mary's Cockerton at 10am ♥️

Palm Sunday at the Haven - Donkeys!

18/03/2026

This Palm Sunday come and see our donkeys ♥️ Free ticket booking link is below!
The legend of the donkey's cross states that the dark, dorsal stripe and shoulder cross found on many donkeys appeared after the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday followed him to Calvary. Overcome with grief at the crucifixion, the donkey turned away but remained in the shadow of the cross, which became permanently marked on its back as a symbol of loyalty, love, and humility.

Free donkey rides are available for under 7s but all are welcome to come and see our long eared friends 🙏🏼

We’ve got an afternoon of donkeys, bubble making, crafts, games and refreshments, all free on Sunday 29th March 3-5pm at West Park Academy.
