We aim to be a warm and welcoming Christian community. We have a variety of worship services across the four churches and our church members are aged 0 to 90 with almost everything in between! Find out more about our community, services, events and activities on this website … and better still come along and see for yourself. You will be most welcome. We are part of the Anglican Church within the Diocese of Bristol.

God of peace and justice, we pray for people in places of conflict...
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
As well as the traditional elements of the Christian Mass - Kyrie Eleison, Sanctus, Benedictus & Agnus Dei - The Armed Man contains highly descriptive music heralding the onset of war, its horrors and aftermath, but it ends with joy and hope. It is an immensely powerful and moving work and it feels most apt to be performing it at this very moment when we are all praying for peace in these uncertain times.
We have a choir of 80 singers plus magnificent accompaniment - organ, cello, percussion, trumpets, flute & piccolo (several professionals amongst them) - conducted by the Director of Music of Bristol Cathedral.
Tickets are £7 (including a glass of wine or a soft drink) and are available on the door or on the TicketSource website. If you have bought your ticket on TicketSource there will be fast-track entry, so just go straight to the door if there is a queue. Link to TicketSource here:

Programmes with useful translations and details on the music & literature from around the world, which have influenced the composition of this work, will be available for a small donation. The bar will remain open at the end of the performance so please feel free to stay afterwards.
Doors open at 4.30pm.
We hope you will join us for this special event.
