Morning Communion

for 1 hour
St Peter & St Paul Edgefield
Sweetbriar Lane Edgefield, NR24 2AF, United Kingdom

You are warmly invited to our Sunday morning service — a time of song, prayer, reflection, and shared worship. This is a Eucharist (or Holy Communion) service, where we remember and give thanks for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Whether you’ve been to church many times before or this is your very first visit, you’ll be made to feel welcome. There’s no dress code and no expectations — just come as you are.

The service includes hymns (songs), readings from the Bible, a short talk, and the sharing of bread and wine (or a blessing if you prefer not to receive communion). Children are very welcome — we’re used to a bit of noise and movement, and there’s space for them to feel comfortable.

After the service, we’d love you to stay for a cup of tea or coffee, a biscuit, and a chat. It’s a great way to meet others and find out more if you’re curious.

Edgefield Church is a place for everyone — wherever you are on your journey of faith (or even if you’re just wondering what it’s all about), you are welcome here.

Coffee, Cake & Chat

Saxthorpe with Corpusty: St Andrew
The Street Saxthorpe Norfolk, NR11 7DG, United Kingdom

Come and join us coffee and cake and most importantly a chat!

We are open from 10am to around 11am on Wednesday mornings.

We would love to meet you.
