On 23rd November 2019 around 700 adults and children met for the first ever Cotswold Bible Festival, a new one-day event for all ages.
We enjoyed great Bible teaching with the good news of Jesus at its heart, vibrant music and fun fringe activities.

Life can bring many troubles and living as a Christian in today’s culture is often far from easy.
How are we meant to make sense of it all? How can we know God cares?
On Saturday 23rd November, we looked at the book of Habakkuk to help us. Habakkuk was a prophet who also lived in troubled and perplexing times. As we dug into God’s Word, we learned how to see turbulent times from God’s perspective, to equip us to rejoice in Him in all circumstances.
Hear from Vaughan Roberts as he looked forward to the day...
