We are a very small but welcoming church community and have a monthly service. We celebrate Holy Communion (generally alternate months) and also the very popular Songs of Praise and other more informal services. We are celebrating Carers week in June, Harvest in September, and always enjoy our Mothering Sunday and Remembrance Sunday services too.
We enjoy having a social chat afterthe service over a cuppa or something more celebratory, and always with delicious homemade nibbles / biscuits.
We have our annual fundraising Duck Race on Easter Saturday, always good fun and drawing quite a large crowd to spur on the ducks, and then enjoy the wonderful homemade cakes. There are a few other fundraising events during the year.
Our village is a beautiful well kept place, with a wonderful bluebell wood at the top of the road, a local pub, a beautiful stream running through, just a tranquil place to ponder the wonder of God.
