Oughtibridge churches united!

“In October, Oughtibridge Chapel fully united with Oughtibridge Parish Church to form one church family. Why? Simply because we believe the same gospel, want to pursue Christian unity and believe we will be more effective in reaching our villages together than apart. Our first few months as one church have been fantastic and we’re continuing to see God growing our church and blessing the mission Jesus has given us.” - Revd Chris Tuffnell

A Chance to Bless ‘Bless Greystones’

St Gabriel’s Church in Greystones has reached the national final of Ecclesiastical Insurance’s Good News competition with their Bless Greystones initiative.

The winner of the Good News competition is decided by public vote: please support St Gabriel’s by visiting https://www.ecclesiastical.com/church/ competition/ and voting for them.
