The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Olveston



St Mary's is a historic Church of England Parish Church in the Diocese of Bristol, South Gloucestershire. We are very much concerned with both the present and the future, and supported by a strong and committed congregation we are trying to move forwards while discerning God's will for us.

Our aim is to provide stimulating and challenging worship, to assist each other to grow in faith in Christ, and to show his love in the parish and beyond.

Alpha Course

Everyone is warmly invited - come along and see if this might be for you. It's an informal group, meeting on Wednesday evenings for a ten-week course.

The initial meeting of the 2008 course (a no-obligations introduction) is on Wednesday 17 September. Contact Philip or Alison Rowe if you are thinking of coming, or would like more information: phone 01454 613223, or email Philip (office@stmaryssevernside.org.uk).

From the Alpha website: "Guests attend for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith."
