A traditional Remembrance Sunday Service, we begin the service at 10.50am and we will join the national two minutes silence at 11am as we remember all those who have died as a result of warfare. During the service we remember by name all those recorded on the Steeple Ashton & Great Hinton War Memorials.
After the service we move to Steeple Ashton War Memorial for a short wreath laying service, from then we move on to Great Hinton War Memorial Hall for a further wreath laying service.

Our service in November will be A Toy & Gift Service supporting the local Salvation Army Christmas Appeal

Using the Common Worship format of Morning Prayer, with hymns and canticles supported by our church choir.

Our service is a said Holy Communion following the format from the Book of Common Prayer
[For a trial period we will be holding these services in the choir stalls]

This informal service includes hymns, prayers and a talk followed by the opportunity to gather together afterwards for refreshments and fellowship.

The theme of the October service was "Jack and the beanstalk" .
( There will not be a Family Service in November - however there will be a Toy & Gift Service within the 11am Morning Prayer Service on 15th November.)
Themes for future Family Services:
December 13th - Christmas is coming.
February 14th - The Selfish Giant
(There will not be a Family Service in January as we mark 150th Anniversary of the church organ that weekend with a special service led by the Bishop)
