One of the things we love about the city of Coventry is our Ethnic Diversity. According to recent estimates about 20% of our population (316,900 as of 2011 [1]) is made up of non white British residents[2].
We choose to celebrate our ethnic and cultural diversity on a regular basis. One way we do this is by inviting friends, family, neighbours and work colleagues to a special Sunday Morning Service. This morning will begin with an internationally flavoured breakfast. [1] Most recent population estimates from 2011 census. [2] Estimates of the population by ethnic group. Sunday 19 January 2020 at

This Year we will focus on being a city of Peace and Reconciliation: Sharing stories of reconciliation and community transformation and praying for the healing of divisions in our society.
"Jesus did not only teach--he formed a community. His disciples were not simply individual learners who needed to sit together in order to hear him. Rather, he formed them into a community which was to be a ‘pilot demonstration’ of the kingdom of God. In their relationships to one another, and in the way they related together to the rest of the world, they were to model the transformation that the gospel makes in every area of life...
Humanity is meant to be a community of interrelated people loving God and one another as servants in God’s world." - Tim Keller |
