Join us for a SPECIAL “Live Stream” Service – Ascension Day (Thurs 21st May at 10.30am) – Live from Cadbury Hill, Congresbury:
The Ascension of Jesus into heaven, is one of those festivals of the Church that waned somewhat in more recent years. That is until we started going up Cadbury Hill, first thing on Ascension Day morning – looking down over Congresbury and out to Banwell and praying for our communities, the Churches and breaking Bread together. It probably had nothing to do with the Full Cooked English Breakfast and glass of bubbly that followed at “Heathers Coffee Shop” after.
So, this year, undeterred, we are going to share an Agape meal again together, as we did the First Sunday after Easter. To celebrate an Agape on Ascension Day, you will need:
You may even want to organise some elevenses for afterwards.
Hope you can make it! Matt

You may have picked up from the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday (11th May) that Places of Worship are being included in a phase of opening, scheduled for Sat 4th July. Obviously, this is very tentative at present, and there will, no doubt, be lots of conditions and restrictions, but for many of you who love our two churches, something to aim for and look forward to.
Matt.

This week ALL YOU NEED for our Sunday “Live Stream” service, apart from yourselves, is a Bible.
If you don’t have one at home, or access to one on your phone, don’t worry. Simply look up the following passage at https://www.biblegateway.com/ – that way you can print off a copy for each person from your household who is joining you.
This week we are going to be looking at Luke 24:36-53 as a simple Bible Study together. Its Luke’s account of the time between the first Easter evening and Ascension, and one that is often overlooked, which is a shame as it has much to offer us.
So look forward to seeing you, Bible in hand, this Sunday.
Matt
