Lockdown inspiration

As we enter the second lockdown, it's easy to feel discouraged, which is why we are publishing an inspiring and hope-filled scripture or quote and beautiful image on our Facebook page everyday.  We'd love you to like and share these with your friends and on your pages - lets fill the internet with hope and light!

Anti-racism project launches

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Anti-racism project, created by Lydia Coules.  Challenged by the events of this summer, she is inviting families to have conversations about race and society, while enjoying a great fun Treasure Hunt all around the town!  The hunt is for people of all ages, whether you have kids or not, it's a great way to stretch your legs and see a bit of the town you might not be familiar with, in a safe, socially distanced way.

The hunt starts now, 19th Aug, with 3 weeks to complete it, just in time for the start of the new school term.  Click HERE to find out more!

Pentecost 2020 in Portishead

It was wonderful to join together with churches all across the town in the run up to Pentecost, with Daily Zoom prayers at noon led by different churches with a different focus each day.  We were also encouraged to prayerfully think about 5 people to pray for during this time.
The highlight of the time was coming together for a joint celebration service, hosted by Enjoy Church - if you missed it, do check out the service here.

On going Notices

Due to the current situation in the UK with Covid-19, and to keep everyone safe, all physical groups that GVC run are cancelled for the foreseeable future.  This includes our Sunday celebrations, all children and youth groups, adult groups, house groups.  Many groups are going online however!  Please speak to Sarah for youth events, or speak to individual group leaders to find out the technical bits.
Foodbank will still run from No4 on Fridays, and donations can be left during the week in the porch.

Where possible, the GVC office at No.4 will remain open during usual office hours.  Do feel free to phone us if you need help (01275 847032).
