St John the Evangelist, Langrish
Led by Bishop Jonathan

The 10:30 am service will be a Service of Thanksgiving for the role that St John the Evangelist, Langrish, and the people of the Parish of Langrish have played in the service of God and the community.

As the legal processes for the formation of our new Upper Meon Benefice have now been completed and will come into effect on 1st October 2026, this will be an important opportunity to come together, give thanks and mark this significant moment in the life of Langrish Church.

Due to the special nature of the service, the 8:00 am Holy Communion at East Meon and the 10:30 am service at Langrish will be the only services in the Benefice this Sunday.

Parking at Langrish this Sunday

For those attending the 10:30 am service, Nick Lambert has very kindly agreed for his field opposite the church to be used for parking.

The gate will be open and manned from 9:45 am until 10:25 am and parking signs will be in place to help direct you. The gate will remain closed during the service.

If travelling on the A272 from Petersfield towards Winchester, the entrance to the field is just before the big bend and is opposite Reeds Meadow.
