Dear Friends

This week we are travelling to St. Mary’s in Holmbury for our Benefice service at 10.30am. Guy will be preaching with a little help from Eric Morcombe! Do come along to find out more.
We need your help! We are looking for ways that our local village churches can help and support young families and teenagers. If you are a parent or grandparent, or care for children, please could you spare 3 minutes to complete this survey? How your village church can support families & youth – Fill in form Thank you so much!
