Sermon:- The Philosopher’s Stone.
Acts 12: 1 - 11 / Matthew 16: 13- end.
'David' 1501 - 1504 Michelangelo.
According to medieval alchemy, there was a stone that could turn all to gold! No such stone exists, but there is certainly truth in the belief that what is considered worthless by some can be transformed into gold by others.
Michelangelo’s ‘David’
Michelangelo could have discarded the fractured marble from which he carved the ‘David’. Two other sculptors had abandoned the work, and the unfinished statue lay in the cathedral workshop, forgotten. Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea Sansovino were keen to get the commission, but it was Michelangelo, at the age of 26, who convinced the Council that he deserved the commission. He saw something that others did not and transformed their ‘rubbish’ into gold.

Welcome to our website!
As part of the South Cotswolds Team Ministry we serve three villages in South Gloucestershire: Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop and Quenington. Historically the churches at Eastleach and Southrop were part of our group, but they are now linked with St Lawrence's Church in Lechlade. Click HERE to link to St Lawrence's Website.
We meet for worship in at least one of the villages every Sunday, with a variety of traditional and contemporary services. Children and young people are always welcome, and several times a year we offer worship that is especially suitable for them.
You'll be welcomed at any of our churches whether you're a regular churchgoer, an occasional visitor or you've never been to a church service and want to find out a bit more.
Details of all our services and activities are here on our website as well as lots of other things too. Please take the time to browse around and if you can't find what you're looking for then please do contact us.
We'll be happy to help!
