Janet has worked to produce a list of those remembered, along with some local research about them.You can find out more and download copies of the information at the bottom of the page.You can also find out more and search our memorial database on our website at: https://www.christchurchswindon.co.uk/blog/history-2/There is also a folder with this information, on the war memorial inside the church, which can be read whilst visiting#christchurchswindon #remembranceweek #wewillrememberthem
In this video, Simon looks to the week ahead in the life of Christ Church and Swindon with Remembrance Day on Saturday and Remembrance Sunday this coming weekend; the services in church and at the cenotaph, and also encourages us to visit the Field of Remembrance at Lydiard Park walled garden.

In this video, Simon reflects on the concerts held in church this last weekend, and the reflection spaces that have been set up in the church which can still be used for prayer and reflection. Simon also looks at the week ahead in the church, particularly All Saints and All Souls days, with a special service this coming Sunday afternoon to remember those who have passed on. Simon makes the analogy that those gone before us into eternity are cheering us on (Hebrews 11 & 12) like those who cheer on the runners at our weekly Park Runs.You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0n19ANhSq8 #christchurchswindon #churchlife #weeklynews #weeklyupdate
