Between the hours of 8 pm and 9 pm, and ideally at 8.30 pm each day, a group of people from our Parish say The Lord's Prayer in the privacy of their own homes, or wherever they may be at the time. Would you like to join them? There is no need to be together in person. It's just wonderful to know that others in the Parish are praying around the same time.

Come and go as you please and add any number of other prayers if you wish.

Attached is a pdf of the The Lord's Prayer which you can print off and use for display or as a reminder.

You are most welcome to join us at our twice monthly informal read and chat group meets at Wendy & Dave's, where we take a chapter or two of the Holy Bible and see where we go. We learn from the Bible, we learn from each other.
Our sessions are always respectful and friendly and always get started with coffee or tea and a helping or two of one of Wendy's delicious cakes!
Wendy would be delighted to hear from you if you want to know more. Just send an email to:

We begin at 6.30 pm on Tuesday evenings and are usually on our way home by 7.45 pm.

Our main service of the month, when we celebrate The Last Supper. When Jesus broke bread for his disciples, referring to it as his body, and when he drank the wine with his disciples, referring to it as his blood.

The service also includes hymns, readings, prayers and an interesting sermon from one of our Benefice clergy.

Leading the service this month will be Rev'd Tina, our new Benefice Priest in Charge, and commences at 10.30 am.

This is the first Holy Communion at St Paternus to be led by Tina and you are most welcome to join us at this celebratory event. Refreshments will be served after the service, when you will have the opportunity of meeting her - if you haven't already done so.

A poster for the service is attached and is easily downloaded for printing for display, as a reminder or as a souvenir of this important event.

At Crafty Church we explore the Christian faith through drama, art, music and reflection. The monthly services are delivered in the beautiful church of St Paternus and in our local community. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to the service in any way they wish.

Each year we follow a theme, for 2025 we are focussing on Christian Values for example Peace, Hope and Love. Through reflection, we promote thinking about ourselves, others and our world.This is delivered through singing, bible readings, stories, acting, praying and crafting.

Please join us for our September Crafty Church on Sunday 28th at 10 am. All ages are welcomed.
