Sermon: Boundaries and bridges.
John 15: 9-17/1 John 5: 1-6
Rogation
In the UK at this time of year, spring we relive the experience of our rural ancestors. Rogation, a time when the Farming community traditionally walked the boundaries of their land and prayed for the crops that they had planted. During this annual ritual they would often set up or renew the boundary stones that marked off their land.
These markers reminded our ancient forebears of the thin veil between the natural world and the spiritual world. The turning seasons brought them close to the mystery of life and they set up great monuments like Stonehenge to welcome the coming of new life into the world. Though most of us no longer live as close to nature as they did, we still wonder at the miracle of nature, and we can echo the words of Gerard Manley Hopkins, who wrote ‘The world is charged with the grandeur of God’

Welcome to our website!
As part of the South Cotswolds Team Ministry we serve three villages in South Gloucestershire: Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop and Quenington. Historically the churches at Eastleach and Southrop were part of our group, but they are now linked with St Lawrence's Church in Lechlade. Click HERE to link to St Lawrence's Website.
We meet for worship in at least one of the villages every Sunday, with a variety of traditional and contemporary services. Children and young people are always welcome, and several times a year we offer worship that is especially suitable for them.
You'll be welcomed at any of our churches whether you're a regular churchgoer, an occasional visitor or you've never been to a church service and want to find out a bit more.
Details of all our services and activities are here on our website as well as lots of other things too. Please take the time to browse around and if you can't find what you're looking for then please do contact us.
We'll be happy to help!
