You are welcome to join us at any of our events through the festive season to celebrate or take part by contributing to our City Christmas Hope campaign.
Details of how to attend and contribute are below:
Services resume at the normal times from 5th January
Isaiah 61 has become a key passage for us as we approach the purchase of a building in Stokes Croft. A reminder that those who receive mercy become those who repair and restore areas of brokenness. Effectively mercy becomes contagious. This year we have three ways that we can show love and generosity to those who are vulnerable, alone and hurting:
Streetlife Christmas meal providing a safe place where vulnerable people can enjoy great food, have fun and hear the good news of Jesus. We are hoping to provide 65 stockings filled with presents to give out on 17th December. Pick up a stocking and list of items from your site. Please return to your site by 7th December.
Sixty-One is a charity in Bristol that works directly in prisons and with ex-offenders through the ‘Mentor Me’ scheme. Along with 11 other churches in Bristol, we are providing 1400 gifts for prisoners across the city. We will buy gift packs, have volunteers packing and writing cards for the prisoners. Each gift to a prisoner costs £7.50. City Church will give gifts to 120 prisoners.
Beloved is a Christian charity offering support to vulnerable women in Bristol and the surrounding areas. We want to provide Jewellery to 110 women. These will be distributed along with Christmas cards with handwritten message
Pick up a stocking on Sunday 16th November and buy the gifts, wrap them and return the full stocking to church by 7th December.
Join a team to write Christmas cards
