Hope for a suffering world...

We're very close to the most important of Christian festivals - Easter - when Christians try to enter into the real meaning of the death of Jesus Christ for them personally, and His resurrection from the dead. The coming to life of a dead man is not something one would claim lightly, for fear of ridicule.

But this is exactly the claim a disparate and incredulous group of men and women made about the man Jesus - the one they had watched die. How else can one describe their fear of association with Jesus being transformed into a desire to tell the world the wonderful news?

Cogges is an evangelical parish on the east side of Witney in West Oxfordshire.

The parish is in the Benefice of Cogges and South Leigh which is in the Deanery of Witney, in the Diocese of Oxford.

The church forms a thriving Christian community with extensive links into the parish and the wider Witney area. The life of the church in Cogges revolves around worship of God and celebration of His love for us. A range of modern and traditional services, together with a flourishing children's and young people's work, offer opportunities for celebration and for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ - "the same, yesterday, today and forever".
