Celebrating Christmas in Aquitaine

We will Remember!

Honouring and remembering together: A heartfelt collection of moments from the Remembrance Day services across our churches, reflecting unity and gratitude.

Celebrating Harvest and Giving Thanks

During the summer months, we rejoice in the vibrant life and growth, nature bursting with colour and energy, the prairies of cornfields undulating like waves, the grapes ripening on the vines, the bees buzzing from flower to flower. Summer is a time of abundance, maturity and the moment to experience these wonders which remind us of God’s generous gifts. The Scriptures describe the cycles of season as being created to provide sufficient living for the people on the earth.

We are truly blessed to be able to gather in churches throughout Aquitaine for worship and praise. Lord of the Harvest, we give thanks for your abundance and grace.

Summer events reaching out into the community

The Summer Fête at Bertric Burée was a grand success! Doudrac church held a service of blessing for pets. The Team at Limeuil organised a Quiz Night which was great fun. We are blessed to be able to use different facilities for our events, and we appreciate the support of our local communities. Many thanks to all the volunteers who help to make these events possible in reaching out to enjoy fellowship together. .

Summer services throughout the Chaplaincy

We rejoice in being able to gather to worship & praise the Lord, and share fellowship together in so many wonderful and diverse church communities here in south west France. We are grateful for priests and lay worship leaders who travel to lead our services, sharing the Gospel message to support our Christian journey.
