You are warmly invited to our Sunday morning service — a time of song, prayer, reflection, and shared worship. This is a Eucharist (or Holy Communion) service, where we remember and give thanks for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Whether you’ve been to church many times before or this is your very first visit, you’ll be made to feel welcome. There’s no dress code and no expectations — just come as you are.

The service includes hymns (songs), readings from the Bible, a short talk, and the sharing of bread and wine (or a blessing if you prefer not to receive communion). Children are very welcome — we’re used to a bit of noise and movement, and there’s space for them to feel comfortable.

After the service, we’d love you to stay for light refreshments, a biscuit, and a chat. It’s a great way to meet others and find out more if you’re curious.

Barningham Winter Church is a place for everyone — wherever you are on your journey of faith (or even if you’re just wondering what it’s all about), you are welcome here.

We are delighted to be celebrating Mothering Sunday this year with two special services across our benefice. Whether you join us at Edgefield Church or at Plumstead Church, both services begin at 10:30am, and you can expect a warm welcome and a service designed to bring the whole community together.

This is a day when we think beyond simply 'mothers' and celebrate 'mothering' in all its forms. It's about showing appreciation for all who care for others—whether that's mums, grandmas, aunties, godparents, teachers, or friends. We will be giving thanks for the special people who nurture and guide our children and young people, and for the many different kinds of families we represent. Children are especially welcome at both services, and we hope families will come along to share in this joyful and inclusive celebration as we honour the special mother-figures in our lives.

Meditation has become a regular and enriching part of our community life. Each first and third Wednesday at 6pm, we gather to quieten our minds and create space for God to work within us. Whether you are an experienced meditator or simply curious, we warmly welcome you to join us on this journey.

We believe that meditation is a skill that can be developed over time, much like prayer. It’s an opportunity to intentionally step away from the noise of daily life and enter a state of peaceful awareness. In this silence, we can listen for God’s guidance and deepen our spiritual connection. It is a time to simply "be" with God, without the need for words or specific requests.

Our sessions are usually around 30 minutes and to help you feel more comfortable during the session, we suggest bringing a cushion for the pews.

We look forward to seeing you there.

We invite you to join us on Maundy Thursday as we continue our journey through Holy Week together. This service, which will be preached by Lucy Dallas, is a beautiful and intimate act of worship that draws us into the events of Jesus's final days with his disciples.

At the heart of this service is one of the simplest yet most profound lessons Jesus ever taught: the washing of feet. In Jesus's time, this was a job reserved for the lowest servant, yet he knelt and washed the dusty feet of his friends as an act of love and humility. It is a powerful reminder that we are called to serve one another, and it is this moment we will recreate together.

Everyone is welcome, exactly as you are. You may feel drawn to come forward and take part in the foot washing, experiencing this act of humility and love for yourself. Or you may prefer to simply watch and reflect from your seat, absorbing the quiet power of the ritual. There is no pressure, no right or wrong way to be with us—just an open invitation to witness and share in this moving act of worship. We would love to see you there.

This service is early so that it coincides with sunrise and the sounds of an awakening day.

The Power of a new day.

The Power of a new life.

The Power of a New Way

He is risen!

Join us on Easter Day for a joyful and uplifting service as we celebrate the heart of the Christian faith—the resurrection of Jesus. This is the most special and joyful day in our church calendar, and we would love for you and your family to be part of it.

Our service will be a wonderful opportunity for all ages to come together and share in the incredible story of Easter morning. We'll be exploring what it means that the tomb was found empty and that Jesus is alive, in ways that speak to both young and old. With activities especially planned for children, families are not just welcome—you are at the very heart of our celebration. There will be chances for little ones to engage with the story through craft, colouring, or simple activities, all while staying close to the main service.

Whether you are a regular visitor, returning to church after a long time, or simply curious about what Easter really means, you will find a warm welcome. Come and share in the joy, the hope, and the wonder of this most holy day. Together, we will discover that Easter is not just a story from long ago, but good news for us all, right here and right now. We can't wait to celebrate with you.

He is risen Indeed!
