Vision & Mission at Christ Church

churchadmin2018-08-05T00:45:42+01:00

We invite you all to contribute ideas for us together to build two new engaging Vision and Mission Statements that will take us into the future.

Whilst all contributions will be reviewed, we do not promise to use your contribution but rather to get a collective set of ideas that we can draw on from across our various congregations, our friends and visitors.

You can do this by writing any ideas you have below and handing to any member of the Staff Team, or by emailing them to Helen at the Parish Office, parishoffice@christchurchswindon.co.uk before the end of April 2018, please.

churchadmin2018-05-02T23:11:52+01:00

Easter eve (Easter Saturday) 31 Mar 2018

Most of the way is on footpaths/bridleways. Some on quiet minor roads. Two short (300 yds) sections on the Ramsbury/Marlborough road, where there is no footpath. Appropriate footwear is essential – wellies, trainers or walking boots. There are a few short sections which are muddy and, if wet, will be very slippery and will require care. Bring warm clothes and waterproofs. The full walk is 7 1/2 miles. Bus fares between approx £5 and £8.50. Short option – 3 ½ miles to Axford. Then either the 15.23 bus (service 48A) to Marlborough or 15.49 (service 48) to Swindon (or taxi share).

Please let the walk leader know in advance if you would like to join the walk, and if you would like to be included in a sandwich lunch at the Red Lion (extra cost – to be confirmed).

As part of our continuing renewal work this year, we intend to make extensive repairs to the church roof and organ as well as repair the South Transept window,improve exterior lighting and make repairs to St Mary’s church.

The major works to the organ require us to obtain a faculty – effectively permission from the Diocese to carry out the work.

As part of this, we are required to advertise the scope and nature of the works for a period of not less than 28 days to allow public objections to be heard by the Dicoese.

Partnership Lent Course – Romans For Today

churchadmin2018-03-30T21:13:47+01:00

Five reflections during Lent 2018 for the Old Town Partnership of Churches from Wednesday 21st Feb until Wednesday 21st March, Swindon 7.30pm – 9.15pm.Led by the Revd Dr David Wenham.
Romans is arguably the most influential letter the world has ever. The great theologian Karl Barth called it ‘the clearest gospel of all’, but for many readers it is anything but clear. In our time together we will hope to unlock its profound and wonderful teaching, and to see how relevant it is to today’s church and world.

If you missed it – Listen again to Week 1. Wed 21st Feb What’s Romans all about, and why it is important to us? (chapters 1 and 15, also a look at chapters 9-11)
