Pastoral Quiet Day - Tockington



We had a great day in Tockington. All of us assembled at Brentry church at 9.30 and arrive at Tockington Methodist church well in time for morning prayers at 10 am, which was graciously led by Chantal. Afterwards we wandered around the village and found our own spots to sit and have our personal time with the Lord. I do not know how to theologically articulate it but the Lord managed to see all of us at the same time individually. Around one o'clock we all met at the Swan Inn for a sumptuous meal and the usual Brentry banter. Highlight of the day (apart from meeting with the Lord, of course) was, a leg of a monk was spotted dangling from the ceiling of the church. Quote of the day from Hannah, "I have done bird watching", in response to Daniel's description of an eighty year old man who commented about the cohort ladies having their time with the Lord on the village green.

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
