What's on

Eucharist Service

Hempstead: All Saints
The Street Hempstead Holt, NR25 6AH, United Kingdom

A Gentle Start for the Whole Family: 8:30 AM Spoken Eucharist

Looking for a peaceful, meaningful way to begin Sunday? Join us for our 8:30 AM Eucharist. This beautiful, said service (without organ or hymns) is intentionally quiet and contemplative, perfect for centering your heart before the week begins. We warmly welcome children! The simplicity and shorter length make it an accessible and engaging experience for young families. Come share the quiet joy of Christ's presence, receive communion, and connect with our welcoming community. All are invited.

Breakfast Church - a New Service

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Saxthorpe with Corpusty: St Andrew
The Street Saxthorpe Norfolk, NR11 7DG, United Kingdom

Join us for Breakfast Church—a new, interactive style of worship where faith, fellowship, and food come together. More than just a service, this is a chance to connect, reflect, and share in a relaxed and welcoming space.

We’ll start at 10am with tea, coffee, and fresh pastries—because good conversations often begin around the table. At 10:30am, we’ll move into a time of music, prayer, and Bible reading and prayer.

There will be a short talk on an aspect of the Bible and how this can be seen in our lives. Come and discuss this over tea/coffee and croissants...

Whether you’re a regular at church or just curious, come as you are - We’d love to see you!

Coffee, Cake & Chat

Every Wednesday at for 1 hour
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.

Get to know people from around the village - or just get the opportunity to be out of the house.

We would love to meet you.
