In 2008, Churches Together in Keynsham and Saltford are organising a wide ranging and exciting programme for the whole community -
'More to Life 08'.

Recognising that God plays in every scene of life, 'More to Life 08' is seeking to discover spiritual signposts amidst the passions of life which engage people's hearts today.

Each month of the year will be devoted to a specific theme as detailed in the menu above.

Black Gold : A Film about Coffee and Fair Trade - together with Martha Daniela Gonzales, coffee worker from Nicaragua.

Black Gold is a ‘riveting and jaw-dropping’ film (LA Times) – it is “remarkable cinema – a moving but scandalous story. Black Gold has extraordinary power” (The Daily Telegraph).

“As westerners revel in designer lattes and cappuccinos, impoverished Ethiopian coffee growers suffer the bitter taste of injustice. In this eye-opening expose of the multi-billion dollar industry, Black Gold traces one man's fight for a fair price.”

This event acts as a fundraiser for the promotion of the Fairtrade theme throughout the Keynsham Music Festival in July - to which More to Life are supporting Fairtrade media artistes, including the excellent ‘Faith, Folk and Fairtade’ enthusiast Gareth Davies-Jones, and the magnificent ‘ethical diva’ Danelle Harvey.
