We have reluctantly decided to close the church for the time being, but in the light of the rapid rise in the new version of COVID-19 it seems the most prudent thing to do. This is to protect each other but also to show solidarity with the wider community as they adhere to tighter restrictions.
Worship at Home Here you will find our weekly pre-recorded service led by one of our Gloucestershire Circuit ministers or preachers.

EASTER Spring. New life. New beginnings. Sunshine after rain. Life after death. New hope. What is our faith? For a year we have not met risk free. Mask free. We have not sung together; we have not held each other. What is our faith? Jesus lived among those who could not be held. He lived with those who had no reason to sing. He challenged those who would silence others. He challenged traditions that would keep people apart. What is our faith? Jesus offered a new way. Jesus offers a new way still. What is our faith? Is it in committees, buildings, traditions, doing what we have always done? Yes and no. Jesus challenges us to bring new life. Community for committee. Hospitality in buildings. Truth in tradition. What is our faith? Love. Over all, in all, between all. God in love creates us, God in Christ engages us, God in Spirit enables us. What is our faith? Love. Sunshine in the rain. Life in death.
