Missional Communities

Wednesday evenings Every Wednesday evening we meet together. Once a month this is as a whole church for our monthly prayer gathering, in the church building. On other weeks we meet as small groups in homes, in what we call our "Missional Communities". As Missional Communities, twice a month we look at the Bible together, thinking about what we heard on Sunday and applying it to our lives. We pray for each other and seek to support each other in our faith and our lives. For the other one or two Wednesdays of the month we hang out together as Missional Communities, doing life together and socialising. We encourage friends and colleagues to come along and experience some of what it is to be part of a friendly, loving Christian community whenever possible.

Shona Stone Carving with Hilary Manuhwa at Cotswold Sculpture Park

Shona Stone Carving with Hilary Manuhwa at Cotswold Sculpture Park

Learn the traditional craft of Shona stone carving with Hilary Manuhwa, a master stone carver who joins us all the way from Zimbabwe. In this hands-on creative weekend, Hilary will guide you through the process of carving your own artwork, from start to finish, demonstrating techniques and offering 1 to 1 assistance. Shona stone carving is a globally renowned art movement originating from Zimbabwe, characterized by hand-carved sculptures that blend Shona spiritual beliefs with depictions of family, nature, and folklore. Primarily crafted from serpentine springstone, and verdite, these sculptures are often abstract or stylized, frequently polishing the stone to a high sheen while leaving raw, textured sections for contrast. This workshop will take place in the heart of our sculpture park, surrounded by artwork and nature. This is an opportunity to learn new skills in a serene and inspiring environment under the guidance and support of a master craftsman. All materials and tools are provided. No previous experience needed. Contact Katie at to reserve your space. More details on the Cotswold Sculpture Park website
