In the Church of England, Pentecost Sunday is a major feast day marking the end of the Easter season. It celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the book of Acts, and is considered the birthdate of the Christian church. The Church of England views Pentecost as a day of remembering the Holy Spirit's gift, the disciples' empowerment, and the beginning of the church's mission.

A special focus for this service is a public expression of the bond we have with all animals. Through the service, we are able to make them an integral part of our worship life and relationships. Each animal is blessed individually by a member of the clergy. Everyone is welcome to bring their animal with them but we do ask they are secure! The service is held in church. All are welcome.

Please join us for a service of Holy Communion. We will be celebrating 855 years of St Helen’s Church during the service. Please note that on this date, St Oswalds Church will be closed.
After the service we will be having a Burger BBQ. Please let us know if you are attending the BBQ.

Please join us for our annual Sea Sunday service.
90% of the world’s food, fuel, raw materials and manufactured goods are transported by sea. Most of the things we use every day arrive by ships, operated and maintained by skilled seafarers. Without seafarers, global trade would come to a standstill and it is because of these skilled brave men and women that businesses around the world thrive
On Sea Sunday, please remember the contribution that seafarers make to your daily lives, and the Mission to Seafarers that supports them. Our collection will be for this charity.

Join us at this poignant service to remember those who lost their lives to protect ours.

This service will take place in church after a brief service at the Memorial on Bridges Lane.

At the heart of the service is an opportunity to remember our loved ones who have died. Their names can be read out in the service and a flickering candle can be held in their memory.
