Stories on the Streets - your church in the local community

Stories on the Streets - your church in the local community

We all love our churches and we also love the communities where we live, but how do we get the two of them together? Well, Bill and Jackie can help! They have created Stories on the Streets to help Christians listen, and then to develop real practical projects to deliver  what local people really want. It's fun and very informal. Listen as Bill and Jackie talk us through it, together with Gary Philbrick of Avon Valley Churches whose congregation has given it a go.

Making Dad Digital - a lockdown story

Gary Philbrick is the rector of Fordingbridge in the New Forest, and like all of us, is learning new skills during the lockdown. Top of his list is how to stream his church services and keep in touch with his parishioners using digital means. Luckily for Gary, he has an ally in his son, Craig, also a vicar. Can Craig teach his Dad all he need?
