The churches in Stroud were never closed during the lockdown. Some of our buildings were, but as a people, we innovated like everyone else and found ways to continue to serve and pray for our communities and meet together in new online spaces.
As restrictions are lifted we are beginning to open up in-person services across a number of our church buildings. Below are the current services planned.

A new window opens and you are taken to one of our video conference rooms using Google Meet
You may need to grant permission to use your camera and microphone.
We will get a notification that someone wants to join the call and we’ll let you in.
On an iPhone or Android
Download the app Google Meet first. Open the app and give it the permissions it needs to access your camera and microphone.

In these unprecedented times, we are working hard to find imaginative solutions in a landscape that has been rapidly changing. Sometimes we get things right, and sometimes we miss the mark. I apologise that this has been the case regarding communion.
For those of you who have received wafers in a parcel, we would ask that you either consume them, or put them somewhere safe to bring back once we are able to be together again.
We are going to be sending out a new order of service for use during this time as either a simple service of the word or, on occasion, to help us to share an Agape meal together.
We're please you want to stay in touch. If you can fill in your name and email and make sure you get our semi-regular news and updates.
