Worship

Every week our church offers the chance to worship, but in different ways and sometimes different places.
-
We normally have a fairly traditional form of worship that lasts just under an hour on Sunday mornings at 10:30. This is followed by refreshments. Everyone is welcome to come and join us.
-
Please note that you won’t be expected to do anything you’d rather not do, there is no money offering in the service (although donations can be taken), and simple guidelines such as ‘Please be seated’ (for example) are given throughout the service.
-
On the third Sunday of the month we offer a Zoom service to help those housebound, away on holiday, or just simply for those who prefer it. Feel free to e-mail the church secretary for the Zoom link.
-
On the fifth Sunday of the month we do something special with one of our sister churches. If no update is showing here, please check our Facebook page.
-
We have extra worship around special events around Easter, Christmas and other times.

Midweek events
We have some regular events:
​​
House Group
We have a fortnightly house group that meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.
This small group often works through a booklet to guide some discussion, but it also works as a great social gathering. For more information please e-mail the church secretary.

Special Events
We are thrilled to work closely with our sister church in Maidenhead on the Ukraine support work we do, and we are part of the active Churches Together in Marlow (CTM) group. We often do things with other churches. Each year we generally take part in special events for: Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Good Friday, Christian Aid week, Marlow Regatta, Carnival, Harvest Thanksgiving, Remembrance, and so much more!​
The Garden
Our garden has really become an extension of the church in the past couple of years. With the inauguration of the Walk of Life we have created a community facility for local people and visitors. From time to time, we meet here to worship or to hold a prayer meeting
​
On Easter Sundays, we now hold a short service in the garden at 9am when we decorate the empty cross with flowers. ​​
We also hold a weekly vigil for Ukraine in the garden at 4pm every Sunday

Christian Aid Week
11-17 May 2025
Christ Church has long supported this annual activity, working alongside other churches in Marlow
Christian Aid week 11-17 May, 2025.
To start the week, there will be a fundraising concert on the evening of Sunday 11th May at Christ Church URC, Marlow, when once again Gillian Dibden will bring young people from the Taplow Youth Choirs to entertain us. Please put the date in your diary and tell your friends! Tickets cost £14 (18s and under £7) and can be bought in advance from https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-summer-serenade-tickets-1308399912359?aff=oddtdtcreator.
We'll be doing the usual "envelope drop" in Marlow during the week to raise funds for Christian Aid's work relieving poverty, responding to emergencies and disasters (eg the Middle Eastern Humanitarian Appeal, Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal) and helping the world's poorest people to find independence and dignity by supporting long term projects. This year the Christian Aid Week appeal is focusing on the work of Christian Aid’s partners in Guatemala. Guatemala is among the ten countries in the world most vulnerable to disasters and climate emergencies. Over the past three years, extended dry seasons have severely damaged the livelihoods of subsistence farmers, who rely upon rain for their crops. We have set up a fundraising page for anyone who wishes to donate online: https://fundraise.christianaid.org.uk/envelope-2025/marlow

Thanks to all those who continue to support Christian Aid week.
