Orbit - Reflective

Sunday August 9, 2026 9:30am - 10:15am BST

The Theatre

If you’re looking for something a little more contemplative, join us in the theatre for a time of quiet reflection and prayerful meditation, as we slowly read though each passage and use our imaginations to bring these stories to life. You'll be led in a guided reflection by our amazing contemplative prayer expert Stephen Hoyland. Make sure you try this at least once!

Youth Leader Session: ''Jesus is mansplaining'' lessons from the Troubling Jesus Research

Sunday August 9, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

The Theatre

[This session is for leaders]
What happens when young people read the bible without being told what they’re supposed to think? The Troubling Jesus research discovered that many of Jesus’ words and actions raise difficult questions—and that’s not something to avoid. What if those moments of discomfort are where discipleship happens? Join us as we explore the findings from Troubling Jesus (Translating God Part 3), and discover practical tools and resources from Youthscape to help you read Scripture alongside young people, creating space for honest questions, deeper faith, and mutual transformation.

Before Leading Worship

Sunday August 9, 2026 3:15pm - 4:00pm BST

The Theatre

Leading worship is more than singing songs - it’s about helping people encounter God in a meaningful way. But where do you begin?
This session is for anyone interested in stepping into worship leadership, whether you’re a musician, a vocalist, or simply interested in serving in this area.

Movie: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Sunday August 9, 2026 9:00pm - 10:45pm BST

The Theatre

That's right Satellites - we've got the biggest movie of the year! Watch as Pedro Pascal (we imagine, although let's be honest, he's got a helmet on nearly all the time) and a tiny green puppet join forces to fight baddies and sell huge amounts of merchandise. As Jesus might have said: this is the way.
