Story

Karen is celebrating a newly discovered joy of walking by visiting all five churches in the North Cheltenham Team Ministry, a route of about six miles.  May is going to circle St. Lawrence's church 100 times while being on hand to welcome visiting Riders and Striders.

We are grateful to the Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust for the generous grants it has given to St. Lawrence's in the past and we hope for its continued support.  The Coronavirus restrictions on churches have led to financial struggles.  Additionally, St. Lawrence's Church is  currently running a project to carry out essential repairs and restoration of the roof on our 12th Century unique hexagonal tower, at a cost in excess of £100,000.

The Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust will give half of the money raised by us directly to St. Lawrence's Church.
