It is good to meet together, and each week we have enjoyed hearing the bells being rung before the services – so, many thanks to Shirley Barnett and her team of volunteer ringers. We are now meeting in the Chancel, which is much easier to heat! We are serving coffee & biscuits after our services, giving us the opportunity to chat! All are welcome to join us.

We are joining our neighbouring churches in The Bereavement Journey®, which is an award-winning series of films and discussion that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.

The course is being held at Sutton Bonington Methodist Church on Tuesday evenings from 17th June to 29th July at 7 pm to 9 pm. The course is being facilitated by all three village churches and will be jointly facilitated. Cost is £5 per person to cover the cost of the manual.

With effect from the first Sunday in January 2024, Sue Waterston will be leading this service on the first Sunday of each month. You are very welcome to join us for this informal service, and have a cup of coffee afterwards.

Every Tuesday in August at 8 pm, like the last few years, we will have a short service of music, prayers and poetry; a time to be still and quiet in our beautiful peaceful church, and share this special time with others. Do come and join us.
