PLEASE NOTE: THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE OF START TIME TO 3pm FOR OUR NORMAL MONTHLY SERVICE HELD ON THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH. This is to hopefully make our services more accessible for families with young children.
Please do check here regularly for updates or on Facebook (What Happens In Welney) or in the local parish magazine (The Welney News) as times and services can alter occasionally. Whenever possible our services are with Holy Communion so please feel free to join us whatever your faith or denomination. Children of all ages are welcomed and we do have a small area where the younger members of the congregation can play (after all an hour is a long time when you are young). We look forward to meeting you.
