churches together

Barrow-upon-Soar Churches Together was formed during 2006 with one of its main objectives being to enable the village churches to bear a more united witness in the community and serve it more effectively.
Ministerial and lay representatives of the member churches meet together regularly. As a result of these meetings various annual events have been held: the Week-of-Prayer meetings in January, Lent meetings, the Pentecost Service at Hall Orchard, Easter Week activities, as well as various one-off events.
