Harvest Festival

Join us on Saturday 26th September from 09.30am to decorate our church ready for our Harvest service. And/or stay for our Harvest coffee morning from 10.00-11.30am. Proceeds will be donated to the Tibet disaster fund.
Then on Sunday 27th September please join us for our Harvest service at 10.30am. All welcome!
After the service there will be a soup and pudding lunch for those wishing to stay and enjoy fellowship. If you wish to attend please sign the list in the new room at the back of the church by Sunday 20th September so that we know how many to cater for. We suggest a donation of £10 per person but invite you to give what you can afford. Proceeds will be shared between Turnaround Bristol and church funds.
On both Saturday and Sunday we will be collecting gifts of tinned and/or dried goods which will be blessed during our service and then shared between the local Food Bank and Turnaround Bristol. There will be a table in the entranceway to the church for donations on both Saturday and Sunday if you are not able to stay and just want to drop off your gifts.
Link To Hope Shoebox Appeal

Once again this year we will be collecting small gifts to fill shoe boxes to send to Eastern Europe in support of one of our chosen charities Link To Hope. We will also be accepting certain knitted goods as requested by Link To Hope.
Further details of the exact items required, delivery deadlines and how to donate are available in church or by emailing us via the link at the bottom of the page.
If you would like further details of Link To Hope's work please follow this link to our charity page and/or drop in to our 10.30am service on Sunday 22nd November when one of their representatives will be joining us to talk about how your donations are used.
Coffee, Craft & Chat
Join us for crafts and a natter over tea/coffee and biscuits on the first Saturday of each month between 10.00-12.00.
Bring your own crafts, rummage in our stock supplies (knitting, crochet, paper crafts etc.) or get involved with one of our group projects. See our Coffee and Craft Club page for more details.

Advent project 2026
As Christmas draws closer we have started working on our Advent project.
This year our theme will be love and compassion and we will be illustrating it with hearts. We will be knitting, sewing, felting, crocheting and making heart shaped Christmas decorations from a whole range of materials such as wood. We will feature them in our online Advent calendar which will be available throughout December on this website and through our Facebook page. We will also be distributing the hearts throughout our local community for you to find and take home. Keep an eye on this page later in the year for more information.

Christmas Tree festival

This year our theme for our decorated Christmas trees is "Our Wonderful World". Come and see our amazingly creative trees or maybe even decorate one yourself to display. We can help you wit ideas and materials if you would like to display a tree but aren't sure where to start.
Set up will take place on the evening of Thursday 26th November - time TBC.
On Friday 27th November join us for light refreshments in the evening and view the trees by fairy light, always a magical evening! - time TBC.
On Saturday 28th November we will be holding our Christmas coffee morning with stalls to browse, raffle, music, refreshments, etc. Bring your family and friends to this popular event and get in to the Christmas spirit. More details to follow.
And on Sunday 29th November we will begin our journey through Advent with worship among the trees at 10.30am. All welcome.
