Welcoming Growing ConnectingGood Friday
Today we reach the pivotal point of Holy Week as we encounter those who were part of the world-changing events centred around the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hear firsthand accounts from Simon of Cyrene, Mary the mother of Jesus, the Centurion and the mother of one of the thieves crucified with him…
Welcoming Chris
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Revd Chris Butler as the new rector of our Sodbury Vale Benefice. She was licenced by Bishop Rachel on 4th October 2023 in a wonderful service in a full church.
