Extinction Rebellion - screening of "The People’s Emergency" followed by a discussion at New Road in the Tidmarsh Hall on Friday, 12 June, from 10.00-5.30pm.

Last November a small independent group of people brought together 9 UK scientists and experts who outlined the threats to British life from ongoing damage to nature and climate. The event in Westminster Central Hall was attended by Parliamentarians, leaders of local government, churches and voluntary organisations, to name a few. The day’s conference has been brought together into a 50 minute film called the ‘People’s Emergency Briefing’. It is presented by Chris Packham and has the support of the Church of England, the Catholic Church, non-conformist and independent churches, the National Trust, the World Wildlife Fund, among others. It will be shown 3 times in the Tidmarsh Room on Friday, 12th June. The film is factual and informative and is independent of any campaign groups. Following the film there is a facilitated discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally. The whole event lasts 2 hours. Tickets may be booked here.
If you can’t make it to our showing, it is being shown at Kidlington Baptist Church at 6.30pm on the evening before,

Macbeth at New Road - Wild Goose’s charity performance of Macbeth will be in the chapel on Thursday, 2 July at 7.30pm. This year proceeds will be split between The Mint House and the Winter Night Shelter.
Tickets available online (via the events page of The Mint House website) or on the door.

What we believe

We are a Christian church and believe all can have relationship with God.
We believe this can happen because of Jesus, who invites us to follow him.

Is it just Sundays?

Absolutely not! God is with us all week long and we aim to lead lives that show it. We’re not perfect and we do make mistakes, but we want to make a positive difference in everything we do.
