Bishopstone: St John the Baptist

Set in the middle of the Chalke Valley, Bishopstone (pop 684) is a thriving village community with a good mix of young families and retired residents. Whilst lacking an obvious ‘centre’ there is plenty going on in the village, with a well-used village hall that hosts a wide range of events, from Moviola nights to a lively playgroup. There is also a village pub, popular with families, and a recently improved village playground. The church sits approximately one mile from the rest of the village, in a beautiful riverside setting. The village is in catchment for both Coombe Bissett and Broad Chalke primary schools.

Wellspring is a midweek morning meeting of people who enjoy being part of an informal Christian community. It’s a place where faith grows, where deep friendships are formed, and the ups and downs of life can be shared.

We aim to provide a sociable and relaxed morning with members coming from different denominations and different villages up and down the Chalke Valley. Includes sung worship, a Christian speaker, and a half hour coffee and cake break with a lot of chatting!.
