About our church

L’Eglise Saint Pierre – Saint Paul lies in the centre of the village of Bertric Burée (24320) and can be seen for miles around. The village is just off the D708 between Riberac and Verteillac. There is a large car park nearby.

Services: Our church community mostly comprises British expatriates from different church backgrounds, which is reflected in the diverse and inclusive nature of our services. We offer a blend of traditional and contemporary worship styles to cater to everyone’s preferences. The Church of England forms of worship are used for all services. Everyone is welcome.

An active and thriving Church Community:

We are an active church, organising and hosting a variety of social and fundraising events throughout the year. We also have various home and prayer groups to encourage Bible study growth and fellowship. Sharing a meal is an important part of our fellowship and once a month we enjoy a Bring and Share lunch after the service.

The Upper Room: a converted house with a garden opposite the church, provides a multipurpose space for worship and social activities.

The Book Barn has an extensive selection of second-hand books, DVDs and CDs. It is open after services and during the week and is situated in the front garden of the Upper Room.

 

Open Door: offers a space for prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal. It’s a time when our church doors are open on Sunday mornings when there is no scheduled service. There’s no fixed agenda; this time belongs solely to God. You’re invited to come and go as you please, to linger in prayer, to seek God’s voice, and if you’re inclined, to engage in fellowship with others.

Prayer Ministry and Pastoral Care

Prayer ministry is available during and after services. If you would like prayer support, there is always someone available to pray with you. If you have questions, ideas or suggestions, please contact Cathy and Brian Wheatcroft (05 53 90 62 85 – chezmillefleurs@aol.com).

Our pastoral care team can provide company, hospital visits, a phone call, a listening ear, and prayer support. We would appreciate being informed of perceived needs so that where possible we can be of help.

If you know of anyone who would welcome a visit or call, please contact Jaki Moorhouse by email: jakimoorhouse@aol.com.

Thankful for the blessing of our church community!

Praise the Lord for our church repairs!

This summer, we look back on last year, when our church at Bertric-Burée was closed due to a loose stone in the chancel roo. During that time, we were extremely blessed with God’s provision of the Upper Room and also being able to worship in the open air of the garden. What a joy and a blessing to be worshiping in nature with the birds singing in the background.

After the repairs, when we were given permission to go back into the church, we realised it needed cleaning, and a group of 24 volunteers came together with ladders, mops, buckets and cloths to clean the church. As they say, ‘many hands make light work’, and it was such a wonderful day of fun, fellowship, comradery, blessings and an atmosphere of spiritual togetherness. The Lord was definitely present. One couple described the day as more spiritual rather than physical, which seemed to emanate from the church saying, ‘Welcome and Thank You’. In a time that may have tested us as a congregation, we have come so far, and pray that that spirit of togetherness continues to bind us together as one in Christ.
