Request Service

Occurring
for 1 hour

St Mary the Virgin
Address
Church Road Leigh Woods, BS8 3PG, United Kingdom

This service will be held at 6:30pm. Rather like a Carol Service, it will comprise favourite Hymns alternating with readings of poetry on any subject.

We are looking for Hymn choices and those who would like to read a loved poem. We need all these things in advance so that an Order of Service can be printed naming both the choosers of Hymns and the readers. Poems should not last longer than 5 minutes as we aim for the service to last about 1 hour.

Please send any requests for either hymns or poems to the following email address: [email protected] or let Alan Shellard know directly.

Tea Time Special

Occurring
Monthly. Every Third Monday at for 2 hours
Venue
St Mary the Virgin
Address
Church Road Leigh Woods, BS8 3PG, United Kingdom

Tea Time Special occurs on the third Monday of every month in the vestry at St. Mary's Church Leigh Woods.

Proceedings begin with a talk at 2.30pm from a Speaker or an Entertainer and this is followed with tea and homemade cakes. It is usually over by about 4pm.

It was designed for those who live alone and don't get out much. Lifts to and from are provided where needed. However all are most welcome.

If you would like to see how you like it please let me know.
