Our church community is drawn from Christians of varying traditions. There is a service in the church every Sunday morning, except that on the first and fifth Sundays of the month the service rotates in turn around Charlton, Spetisbury and Blandford St Mary. The services vary between traditional Prayer Book services, services using the modern Common Worship order, and Family Services led by a team from the membership. The time, type and location of services is advertised on the notice board and in the Church Room and at www.achurchnearyou.com.
Social and fundraising activities include the annual Summer Fete, a monthly Bingo evening, and various concerts and meals throughout the year. Parishioners are also active in the monthly lunch club and the other activities in the Church Room.
We are part of the Benefice of the Lower Stour and activities shared with the other two parishes include a fortnightly Bible Study group, Chums@Charlton for pre school children and their carers, and the Mothers Union.
We want to help people explore the Christian faith as well as affirming it.
