Our Roof Appeal

2019-09-08T15:18:14+01:00

Over the past 5 years, Christ Church, with the help of its congregation, supporters and Friends, have completed major works to rebuild its new Community Centre, renovate the church interior to make it welcoming, accessible, warm and well lit.

Now we need to finish the job by replacing our aging roof which will secure the building for years to come. Much of the work has already been done but the high level access afforded by the roofing scaffolding has revealed the need for masonry, glazing and other works which we need to address. Your donation will allow us to complete this once in a lifetime repair.

Please help us to preserve the building for future generations.

Would you like to sponsor one of our ridge stones in memory of a loved one? Then please contact us at news@christchurchswindon.co.uk or click below to find out more

All Age Service- this week

2019-04-07T14:11:39+01:00

SUNDAY FOR EVERYONE!
On Sunday (3rd March) the 10am service will be for people of all-ages!
The theme is Psalm 23  The Lord’s my Shepherd
And in case you feel you might be too busy, here’s a revised version for 21st Century living!
 
Psalm 23 for Busy People

The Lord is my Pace Setter, I shall not rush,
He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,
He provides me with images of stillness,
Which restore my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency,
through calmness of mind; and his guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,
I will not fret, for his presence is here.
His timelessness, his all-importance will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity,
by anointing my head with his oils of tranquility,
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
and dwell in his house for ever. Toki Miyashina

Church Electoral Roll

2019-04-07T14:11:51+01:00

Every 6 years, church law requires us to recompile our Church electoral roll. This is our year. This ensures that we have up to date details for everyone

Being on the roll is an important way of confirming your commitment to Christ Church with St Mary’s and to our vision of community. We always welcome all those who visit us and feel part of our church and joining the roll is not compulsory. However, if you wish to:
Stand for election to the PCC or other synodical council (such as the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synod) or attend and vote at our Annual Parochial Council Meeting you must be on the role.

Its easy to do. Simply print and fill in the form below or collect one from the back of the church. Hand the completed form to any member of the clergy or put it in the box at the rear of the church or hand it into the Parish office.

If you have any queries about the process please talk to me or any member of the staff team.

Floodlighting Saturday November 3rd-10th

2018-11-12T22:43:21+00:00
Festival of Commemoration 1914- 1918 – Floodlighting the Church

On each night between the 3rd November and the 10th November, Christ Church will be floodlit to commemorate those men who gave their lives in the Great War and who are remembered on our War Memorial.

Each day you will be able to see the names and details of each man on our special Remembrance Page https://www.christchurchswindon.co.uk/remembrance.php

The floodlighting will end on 10th November with a dramatic, blood red lighting scene provided by our Lighting company, Enlightened. This will herald our Festival of Commemoration event – a celebration of the role of Swindon people in the First World War. Do join us for a night to remember

Festival of Commemoration

2018-12-06T02:04:06+00:00

This year marked one hundred years since the end of the First World War. We staged a major event to commemorate and celebrate the rarely told story of the people of Swindon; the sacrifice, service, community spirit and contribution that ordinary people made in extraordinary times.

It told stories of those who served at home and abroad using letters, accounts, poems and songs of the period.

We were joined by The Aldbourne Band, students from Commonweal school and readers and musicians from our local community. Thanks to the generosity of our Sponsors, Charles Harding, Deacons, Arkells, Hilliers and Book Online as well as the support of those who attended, we are able to donate £400 to the Royal British Legion.
