Walking Church is a way to explore our faith in the countryside and landscapes of Teme Valley South, Teme Valley North and Clifton Harpley and the Shelsleys. If you find sitting in a cold church to celebrate God is not for you, come and walk with us.
The walks are variable in length but not excessive and will explore routes from each of the TVS parish churches and take place on the third Sunday of each month. We will set out from a different church each month. Contact [email protected] or Facebook "Teme Valley Walking Church" for more details.

Once again, we are holding our fabulous Christmas Tree Festival in Stanford Church in December. This is our 7th year of the festival – raising money for the church and for local charities.

This year we are sharing the proceeds with Abberley and Gt Witley Guides and Brownies.

With over 20 trees, more than half of which will have been decorated by children from local schools, nurseries and clubs, lights round the tower, activities for the children and our now ‘infamous’ arch in the porchway, it’s lovely to see the church twinkling away and looking so festive.

This year we are holding the festival on Sat 5th and Sun 6th, from 10am to 4pm each day with free entry, mulled wine, fruit juice and mince pies (all free!). We just ask for donations which we then share with our chosen charity

We’ll have carol singing on the Saturday from 4pm to 5pm in the church – and as it becomes dark, it’s the perfect time to see the trees at their best, decorations and lights twinkling away.

It’ll be great to see as many parents, grandparents and everyone else from the family, come along to see the children's efforts. There is a 'peoples vote' where you can choose the best tree - so if you want your child’s tree to win – you know what to do !!
