Fellowship@9

Our monthly breakfast and discussion group on the fourth Sunday of every month at 9am.

In trust for the future...

We are custodians of the church building on behalf of the people of Even Swindon.  Every generation has left its mark on the church building, and we are no different.  Over the past few years, lots of things have happened, and this page gives an idea of the works which have taken place, and items which have been purchased and donated to help leave our mark on the building.  There is a list of work which is planned.
