Local Outreach & Community Activities
Many regular events encourage fellowship in the church.
Weekly Coffee and Chat is held on a Friday morning, when the church is open for people to meet informally over a cup of coffee and a biscuit. This means the church is open and available to all who wish to call in for any reason and as well as fellowship provides an opportunity to give a Christian welcome to the people of the area.
T @ 3 is a monthly venture, which is open to all and has encouraged social contact with a growing number in the local community who would otherwise have little contact with the church. People come to Christchurch on a Saturday afternoon to meet one another, enjoy a cup of tea and listen to a guest speaker. Attendance is usually in excess of forty people.
Keep fit classes, held on Monday and Tuesday mornings, are another activity drawing on support from the wider community.
The Craft Circle provides two hours of weekly relaxation and pleasure for those who enjoy handicrafts, and their products are often sold for charitable purposes.
The Banner Group meets to create beautiful banners for the church.
A monthly Lunchtime Fellowship Club lays on a meal, followed by a speaker, for twenty or so people, who are a mixture of members and local elderly folk. As a result, those who normally eat alone find fellowship and look forward to this break in their routine.
A well supported monthly Walkers and Strollers group organises rambles in the spectacular countryside of the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean and other parts of Gloucestershire.
Christchurch works with local schools and provide 'Open The Book' events as well as 'Exerience Easter' and 'Experience Christmas' events.
