After the great success of the first Cotswold Churches Festival in 2011 and the Jubilee Churches Festival last year which covered the whole Diocese, we have decided to return to the concept of a designated Cotswold Churches Festival for 2013. The Festival will be for one week and two weekends when all the churches in our area can share in celebration of our Christian faith and communities - the community with whom we worship and the wider community into which God has placed us. For the previous Festivals, many churches staged lots of exciting and varied activities - and we hope that those that can will do likewise for 2013. However, we are making a particular focus for 2013, 'the power of prayer'. With this theme, we are hoping that you will create 'prayer trails' around your churches. This should enable even more churches to take part in the Festival than ever before.

To register your church to be part of the Festival, please click on the REGISTER YOUR CHURCH tabe in the tool bar, and follow the simple instructions. To find out what is going on at one of our churches during the Festival period, click on the icons on the map below. This will show you details about the individual churches and the events which are being organised.
