Our time in Christiansfeld On 16th September 2024, Sr Sarah Groves sent an email, expressing her vision for some members of the Gracehill Moravian Congregation and our friends to consider a visit to Christiansfeld in Denmark. She suggested that this trip could coincide with the Christiansfeld Church Anniversary on 10th August the following year, sparking the initial idea for what would become a very memorable journey.
Wild Church – A Spirituality of Nature Wild Church is a relatively new style of worship; it follows on from the Messy Church model but really it is older than church itself!

Mission Possible – Summer Camp 2025 This year’s summer camp took place from Monday 28th July to the 1st of August at the Boundless Outdoor Centre in Bell Heath Stourbridge. The theme for the week was Mission Possible as we tried to show the young people of our church that through God and with the support and love of each other all things were possible.
