Bristol Brass Consort: Music for a Summer Evening, 24 Aug, 1900-2100, Axbridge Church

A FREE concert, with retiring collection.

Come and hear the Bristol Brass Consort 10-piece group perform pieces old and new, suitable for a summer evening.
The 10 piece ensemble repertoire includes concert music written for brass alongside arrangements of well-known tunes by Bach and Purcell through to The Beatles.
This is an informal event with a friendly and fun atmosphere.

You are welcome to bring your own refreshments.

Homegroup

Homegroups are a way for a small group of people to:

• study scriptures in more depth than can be achieved in a sermon – either the theme from the previous Sunday or a theme running in the homegroup
• discuss people’s interpretation of and thoughts about the theme or Bible readings
• pray together about anything which is on their minds and hearts

We currently have one homegroup, which runs on a Monday evening.  If you would be interested in joining the homegroup, please contact the Church Office

Axbridge Warm Spot

This runs on Mondays, in the Church Rooms - 1030-1400 from October to March; 1100-1300 from April to September - for anyone who needs some light food and company.  We are always grateful for helpers and donations of cakes: please contact the church office if you can help, or speak to Yvonne Brown at a Warm Spot.  Thank you very much.

Opportunities for Ongoing Support

We are registered with The Big Help Out so there are further details on their app. 

We are looking to create a team of volunteers who will maintain our beautiful churchyard. If you can spare any small amount of time at all and would like to become part of that team, please contact the Priest in Charge, Rev'd Alistair Forster, by email: rev.alistair3@gmail.com and he will get back to you. Many thanks for considering helping us make our churchyard a peaceful and beautiful place where we can 'just be' with God's creation.  Thank you so much!
