Advent and Christmas click here to see 2019 events

The period of Advent is one of the busiest and happiest in the Church year.
All our Churches hold a carol service and there is a midnight service and an early morning Holy Communion service on Christmas Day.

A favourite is always the Family Service and Christingle.

This is always a very happy ocassion with families getting together to celebrate the lives of Mothers' everywhere. It is so wonderful to thank them for all they do and to present each with a small posy.

Holy Week & Easter         click here to see 2019 events

This then is the holiest part of the Church year. Starting with Ash Wednesday when we seek forgiveness for our sins. There is then the sombreness of Good Friday when we will walk around one of our villages with the Cross, Yet there is then the joy of Easter Day when we celebrate Jesus' rising again, on perhaps the happiest day of the year.

Harvest

Being part of a rural community, Harvest has a very special significance. It is always a joy to welcome the schools into our Churches and for the children to bring their harvest gifts.
Earlier in the year we also have a Rogation service when we walk around the fields and bless the crops.

Remembrance

Over the last few years , attendance at this service has increased as the anniversaries of World War 1 and World War 2 come about. We must never forget - nor shall we.
