Pentecost Service
Tonight CBC will be hosting the ecumenical Pentecost service at 6pm. We look forward to welcoming members of other local churches to our fellowship – it promises to be a really blessed time.
Funeral
The funeral of our dear brother, Paul Taylor, will take place at Priory Street on Friday 9th June at 2pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the service as we celebrate Paul’s life.
WEC Summer Training Course
Our summer course is filling up with participants from around the world! They will be helping to reach the world for Jesus by teaching and looking after the children of missionaries. We appreciate all the offers of accommodation that we have received so far. We need some more places, so if you are able to host a single person or a couple between 23rd and 29th July/3rd August, please see Steve or Gill Bryant. Thank you!
Please read the enclosed leaflet which gives full details on what serving and hosting opportunities there are for the WEC training attendees.

Opportunity to serve Church on the Green
Church on the Green, our church plant in Rudloe, are having a weekend away camping at the Viney Hill Christian adventure centre in the Forest of Dean from 8th-10th September 2017. We would be blessed if someone from one of the Priory Street congregations could serve by cooking for us over the weekend. We are expecting about 30 to attend and there are well-appointed kitchen and dining facilities, the first meal would be Friday evening and the last Sunday lunch. If you think you could serve us this way please contact Stuart Little for more details.
