Origins?       

 

We have been meeting in the Chapelle de l’Assomption for over 20 years. Previously, services were held in St Nicholas Anglican Church. The Chaplaincy celebrated 175 years in Bordeaux and Aquitaine in 2000.

 

 

What?           

 

Church of England forms of worship are used for all services.  Congregations of over 30 are usual throughout the year, growing to 50 for major festivals.

 

There is Sunday School on Holy Communion Sundays except during school holidays.

  

We offer support at times of difficulty. Over the years we have developed a network of prayer and pastoral support for those in particular need. A hospital visiting team is in place to help English speakers who find themselves in Bordeaux hospitals.

 

Our choir rehearses from October for the Christmas Carol service which is attended by more than 200 people.
