Welcome to the Bridge Group Parish

We are a group of five rural church congregations joined as one single parish. All churches are within a few miles south of Canterbury.

To purchase Omnicef, a prescription antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, individuals can consult their healthcare provider for a personalized dosage recommendation based on their specific condition. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to ensure the effective eradication of the bacterial infection without the risk of antibiotic resistance. Additionally, individuals should inform their healthcare provider of any existing medical conditions or medications to avoid potential drug interactions. Professional guidance and adherence to medical advice are key when purchasing and using Omnicef to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.

Budgeting for 2026

As a New Year begins the PCC and Finance Team have been looking at our financial situation and our budget for the year ahead. The cost of everything has gone up so all the bills we have to pay - utilities, insurance, ministry costs etc have increased.

We do appreciate that this is true for everyone but if you are able to increase your giving, make an additional one-off donation or (if you haven’t done so already) are set up a regular monthly gift (of any amount!) using the Parish Giving Scheme this would make such a difference.
Every little helps as they say. Thank you for your support.
