Sunday 5 July 2026 - 11h00 - Pet Blessing Service

Our next Family Service at St Helen's is a Pet Blessing Service. It will take place on Sunday 5 July 2026 at 11 am.

We are hoping the weather will continue to be kind so we will be in outside in the lovely churchyard. Whether you have 2 legs, 4 legs, no legs, or hundreds of legs, you are welcome as we worship God together and ask for his blessing.

Songs include 'All things bright and beautiful', 'If I were a butterfly', and 'He's got the whole world in his hands' - please join in and make a joyful noise!!

Refreshments will be served after the service.

Sunday 28 June 2026 Garden Fete 14h00 at 'The Innocents', Berrick Prior

What was not to like on Sunday? We had Nicol and Ian’s gorgeous garden, a blue sky, perfect weather, masses of donated goods, delicious refreshments…and all you lovely people joining together to create the quintessential English village Fete!

This is a massive THANK YOU for everyone's efforts to make it the wonderful village day it was! Your generosity is hugely appreciated...

AND you raised the fabulous sum of just under £3,200 !!

This is a substantial and much appreciated contribution to the £17,000 per year that is needed to keep our beautiful and historic church building in good condition and functioning.
