A small congregation
of Christians worshipping in a small church building which was
founded in Saxon times(( over a thousand years ago) and much altered
since.
A part of a
group of churches served by a team of ministers based
around St Margaret`s Stratton St Margaret www.stmargaretschurch.co.uk
and includes South Marston and Coleveiw . We are in the Swindon
Deanery of the Bristol Diocese.
Over the last few years
we have been delighted to welcome young ( and occassionally not
so young) couples joining so as to marry here.
People
are always welcome here. People of all faiths
and none are welcome to join our worship.
We are happy to have you
with us whether you are a committed Christian of any denomination,
someone exploring faith, just looking or coming with someone else.
Our services
involve singing songs (hymns) together, reading and speaking responses
from a service sheet, listening to a talk and joining in or listening
to prayers
.Services usually last
about an hour--a bit longer if you allow time for fellowship and
chat before and after the formal bit.
We support
many good causes
Money we collect is shared
with people in need,homeless, poor, disaster victims and lonely,
through The Green Hut project; Emmaus ,Christian Aid and other charities.
We are privileged to enjoy
a beautiful Norman church here in Stanton Fitzwarren, with some
of its original features. |
