Welcome!

About the church family

​​We are a varied and friendly congregation seeking to know more of Christ and walk with Him in our village and in the world.
We meet regularly for worship, usually on Sundays at 9.30am and 6pm, and welcome everyone who would like to join us.  We also hold an evening Zoom Compline Service at 6pm every other Sunday.  If you would like to join in this service, please email Janet by clicking here and she will send you an invitation.  We are also open for private prayer during the day.

​For latest news see our Facebook feed on the right.  
​Below is our church diary; all events are held in church unless shown otherwise.

Regulations around Public Worship

Following the move to Step 4 of the Government Roadmap on 19 July 2021, we have adopted an interim approach to the changes; these will be reviewed by the PCC at its meeting in September when the latest data will be available.  The measures that we have in place are:
  • Please don’t enter the building if you have symptoms of COVID-19.
  • Please sanitise your hands when you come in to the building.
  • Please keep households 2m apart where possible.
  • When singing, remember that it is safer for you to be side by side to people with a longer distance to the people in front.
  • Please sit in an allocated seating place.
  • Feel free to wear a face covering if you would like.
  • The area in the North Aisle will be a ‘lower-risk’ zone; please wear a face covering if you sit in that area. This is to provide an area for those who are vulnerable or wish to exercise more caution. Some of these seats near the back will be designated a no singing zone.
  • Communion will continue to be received in one kind and placed in dishes by the president.
  • We have been asked to continue with test and trace so please continue to scan yourself in or fill in a slip.

​The 2021 Great Big Christian Aid Village Walk (Colerne) 

2021 is Christian Aid’s 75th Anniversary; seventy five years of bringing
support and hope to the poorest people around the world. This year’s featured project aims to support  people in Africa who are facing poverty, hunger and homelessness because of climate change. Excessive flooding followed by periods of drought have caused devastating crop failures. You can discover more about the work of Christian Aid on their website www.christianaid.org.uk 

Colerne has a tradition of fundraising for Christian Aid in May.  We felt that this year, because of the pandemic, door to door collections would not be appropriate. Instead, some of our group completed a sponsored walk of 55.5 miles around the local Peacock and Heritage Trails.  The final total of money raised (including gift aid) by the Colerne Team was £2,018.93!  A huge thank you to all walkers, organisers, givers, risk assessors and everyone who has supported in any way.
