Tuesday 15th September

In order to promote Back to Church Sunday, we decorated a double decker 'bus, and drove it around several churches in the area. Not only were we able to meet the members and supporters of the churches, but we caused quite a stir driving along the M5 and through various towns.


Our first stop was at Cheltenham Highbury Congregational Church, where the toddlers group meeting at the church that morning boarded the 'bus and sang 'the wheels on the bus go round and round' and posed for this photo with members of the Church.




Our second stop was at Cam 3C Community Church in Gloucestershire, where the 'bus was invaded once more, and one local resident drove past us a few times wondering whether we were up to no good before coming to chat to us - it turns out he knew John, the driver and owner of the 'bus.






The Back to Church Sunday bus made its final stop at Taunton North Street Congregational Church. As the church is in the centre of the town, we were able to take to the pavement outside the church to invite passers-by back to church. The local paper came to take a photograph of the 'bus and members of the church, all of which should help remind people of Back to Church Sunday, which takes place this year on Sunday 27th September.
