Welcome to our new website!

Our aim has been to create a website that is not only easy to use and provides useful information about our church and activities, but also reflects our values and priorities as we work to transform lives through Christ's love.

If you're new to the area and want to find out more about us, the Our Life Together section will give you a good idea of who we are. Our Service Times page gives details of the different services we offer.

We have a dedicated section for children and families, which covers the main groups and activities we provide for children, young people and families - such as our Sunday groups, holiday club and our popular baby and toddler group.

We, of course, have provided all you need to know about holding a baptism, wedding or funeral at St Michael's and how to contact us.

The blog is a new feature that will enable us to share what we're doing, along with our newsletter which you can also view and download from the News page. 

As well as our website and blog, we also have a Facebook page where we regularly share church news. Our Facebook group is also available to anyone looking for a more private space to share discussion and news with other church members.

Finally, we'd like to offer our sincere thanks to the team at Cotswold Web Services for the most generous donation of website, and to Kelly at Ultimate Proof for her time in pulling the content together. The website has been created at no cost to the church and we hope you'll find it a useful resource.

Representatives of the North Cotswold Foodbank, Philip Cule and Rhian Morgan, attended The Trussell Trust National Conference Update held in Birmingham on 17 May 2017.

The keynote address was from John Kirkby, founder of Christians Against Poverty (CAP)  who talked about the growth in CAP services since it was founded. There are now 20,000 people a year seeking help and wanting to be released from a life of debt, unemployment, addiction, hunger and poverty.

John said, “Be generous in spirit as the world gets larger. Charity yields a high return. Don’t just sit there watching the wind. Do your own work helping others. Don’t stare at the clouds; get on with your life.”

You never know...

Just maybe...

The next...

...will become a life changer.

To read more about the conference update, please see the CAP blog post - CAP joins forces with The Trussell Trust to help more people in crisis

Please see our Mission Partners page to find out more about our mission work at the North Cotswold Foodbank and how you can get involved.

We love to hear your news!
