Across the variety and diversity of Stroud, we are working together for the common good through faith in God
Advent, Christmas, Comfort and Joy
Celebrations for you and for Stroud
Spaces and Places
There are many opportunities throughout the week to gather or find space for yourself.
Some of these are physical in our church buildings and some are online.
You are very welcome.
10:10 am
Every day we are pausing at 10:10am. Pausing to pray, to listen, to know we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
Some will read the bible, some will reflect on what they can see from their window.
And after the pause – to do something. Phone a friend, a neighbour, check in with someone you haven’t spoken to for a while.
