Baptisms, weddings and funerals

Please click on "Get in Touch" to contact us about a baptism, a church wedding or a church funeral. 

Worship:

We gather for weekly worship on Sunday mornings, starting at 10am. This always include songs of praise, learning together from the Bible, and prayer. On the first Sunday we have a shorter and more informal service.  On the second, third and fourth Sunday Sunday mornings of the month we celebrate Holy Communion. A few times a year, there is a 5th Sunday in the month and on these mornings we do something different to add some variety - check our list of services and events for more details.

On the second Sunday of the month, 6 - 7pm, we gather at St Faith's Hall, in New House Lane, to Pray for Thanington. 

On the fourth Sunday of the month, 4 - 5:30pm, it's Messy Church, which is even more informal and creative and we finsih by eating tea together. It's ideal for families with young children.
