All events Calendar Advent & Christmas

We are a traditional, middle-of-the-road parish with 2 churches within the parish (St Luke's, Hodnet and The Chapel of the Epiphany in Peplow). We have had an  influx of families move into the area and would welcome them to all our services.  We are really keen to connect with young children and families and to grow the church choir.
