\"\"<\/a>Last year, Covid drank our Beer festival so we are delighted to be able to pick up again this year, albeit with a slightly scaled down version.<\/p>\n

The festival is an important part of our connection with our local community as well as providing us with a valuable contribution towards the cost of running the church and our services to those who need us.<\/p>\n

If Beer festivals aren’t your thing then why not join us on Sunday 22nd \u2013 4pm \u2013 5pm for Beer & Hymns<\/b>.A chance to sing again; a joyous musical gathering led by the Old Town Partnership of Churches and musicians at Christ Church, Old Town, Swindon.<\/p>\n

There is a grand tradition within the Christian church of bringing together hymn-singing and pub culture. In the nineteenth century William Booth\u2019s Salvation Army put Christian words to popular music sung in pubs and taverns, but you don’t need to be tee total or Christian to come. (Non-drinkers also welcome!)<\/p>\n

We are an open, non-judgmental community where everyone (and we mean everyone) is invited.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,4,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cc-home-page","category-news","category-site-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7736"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7747,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7736\/revisions\/7747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.christchurchswindon.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
