Thornbury Churches Together

Thornbury Churches Together is a group of churches covenanted together since 1989, and linked to Churches Together in Gloucestershire.

It is formed from representatives of the following churches (click on their names to visit their websites):

• Church of England (St Mary's and St Paul's, the Hackett)
• Roman Catholic (Christ the King)
• Thornbury Baptist Church
• Thornbury Methodist Church
• Thornbury United Reformed Church
• Society of Friends (Quakers)
• Bristol Christian Fellowship (BCF)
• ngm, a music and mission community for young people

Thornbury Churches Together aims to draw the churches together in greater understanding and fellowship, to enable them to bear a harmonious witness to the community, and to give expression to their common faith and devotion.

It continues a previous "Association of Christian Churches in Thornbury", and has been pleased to welcome "ngm" as a closely associated group since their establishment in Thornbury.

We believe it is unusual, though probably not unique, that as many as seven denominations have been happy to covenant and continue to work together in one community.

Thornbury Churches Together works to enrich the lives of the whole community in the following ways:

• Lent housegroups
• Good Friday Procession of Witness
• Supplying books to Year 6 local school leavers annually, and occasionally supplying other books, sometimes including Bibles
• Leading assemblies in local schools
• TCT Saturday Card and Fair Trade stall at the United Reformed Church
• Christmas Carol Singing
• Rota of Sunday evening services at Thornbury Hospital
• Weekly "Open the book" sessions in primary schools
• Thornbury Together Summer programme of activities
• Dialogues exploring common issues

Thornbury Churches Together are also active in Christian Aid, Fair Trade, Justice and Drop the Debt campaigns.
