Fixing Baydon Church
Work will be starting in 2026 to fix our historic church in Baydon. The first project to go ahead is turning a disused outbuilding into a WC and restoring path lighting. This is a vital first step to welcome people into the building and helping us secure grants for repairs. The restoration work is split into a few projects to be done over a timeframe of several years, including making the building watertight and dealing with the cracked and damaged stonework. For more information on the building work and how you can help, see this link – https://www.fixbaydonchurch.org/

“Feeding the Five Thousand”
The churches have made contact with Swindon Food Collective, who would be prepared to help us with food parcels for anyone who is currently having difficulty in paying for basic food. There is also local funding available to help with this, in addition to the sterling work already being done by Parish and County Councils and volunteers in the villages.

Praying round the Parish
We nominate a small set of roads from our six villages, as well as some of the groups within them, suggesting that we particularly remember the people in them in our prayers that day. In the course of a month we cover the whole Parish. After you pray, perhaps ring someone you know in one of those roads or groups and check they’re OK – and maybe add some practical help to your prayers? Prayer List – (PDF)
