First week in Context



The week has been going well. Four new great people have joined us. As we are getting to know each other we have already started work in our parishes. There is a lot to do as we have been divided into two groups towards Henbury and Brentry parishes.

We have distributed leaflets in each parishes informing the new service times respectively. David and Peter have shared their vision with us. Gerry and Emma have explained their role and the program for the new year. We even had a session with our chef Henry about food hygiene and health and safety.

Today following the morning session the cohort marcheed to the carvery in the Henbury parish for a sumptuous lunch. After which the team assembled at the Brentry children centre to do some work in their garden. after three hours of hard labour the woodland was made safe and attractive for the children to play and an extinct pond was re created.

Tomorrow we meet together with the Easton Cohort for a session on child protection a game of volley ball and picnic. Watch this space.

About Us

REVOLUTION NOT EVOLUTION! BS10 (Brentry and Henbury) Context Profile In BS10 we are asking the question, “What does it mean to be a Missional Community?” Through Prayer, Theological reflection, Worship and Action we in the power of the Holy Spirit, are trying to answer that question as we are seeking to transform every aspect of church life from a traditional maintenance-based model to a missional faith community. We work Contextually, by which we mean that we are listening hard to the voice of the culture in which we live, and Incarnationally, which means listening to the eternal voice of the Living God who calls people into community to worship and to make real the promises of the Kingdom. These provide merely an outline or overview of the work we have been doing since September 2006. The BS10 area, offers significant opportunities to be a part of a church community that is radically reshaping and reforming what it means to be church. It is definitively a work in progress and not for the faint-hearted! Nevertheless we’d encourage anyone exploring the idea of CBT to think about sharing this unique experience. Hands on? Yes - Challenging? Absolutely! Up for it? Over to you
