As a Christian movement, the Christian ethos is at the centre of everything that we aim to achieve here at the YMCA in Cheltenham. The Chapel is symbolic of this, being situated just off the main Reception area in the very heart of the building. It provides a quiet place for prayer and reflection, and is also available for hire.
Pause for Thought
"Pause for Thought" - that's exactly what it is! Why don't you take some time out and join us at 10.30 am on a Wednesday morning in the YMCA Chapel?
The programme usually lasts about 15 minutes and Christian speakers lead us in a short act of worship that includes a topical message, sometimes a song, and always a time of prayer. We have a coffee in Cafe Y afterwards. Everyone is welcome. Come and join us.
