Because of this, not only our clergy, but all of us are concerned for the welfare of others – whether church members or the wider community. Many people in the congregation are committed to providing help to individuals and to organisations in the village which support those in need.

Our clergy are only a phone call or ‘text’ away from visiting or offering help and counsel for anyone in the parish.

If you know of anyone who would like help of this kind, our deputy churchwardens, Marcus and Elaine Paul, will be glad to take some details and facilitate a visit to those in need.

We have a fine organ and a choir too. These are central to our services of Holy Communion using the “Common Worship” prayer book.

At the “Journey” services (alternating with “Common Worship”) our music, led by a band, is more contemporary. Guitars, keyboard, saxophone, flute, clarinet, all support our lead singers.

Our candlelight Festival of Carols before Christmas is an important event in village life which attracts about 200 people.

In addition to this we host village musical events and concerts, both amateur and professional: soloists, choral, organ music, ensembles. The acoustics in the church are excellent, and the setting inspiring.

We are always keen for more singers and musicians to join us!

When there are events coming up, you’ll find them here.

In the Lord’s Prayer we are told to pray “your kingdom come” and by our giving of time, talents and money, we believe God can use us to help bring about God’s kingdom of peace and joy.

Counselling Advice

The Rector and Vicar have a lifetime's experience of being good listeners and capable counsellors in times of stress, difficulty, change or decision making.

Please do get in touch if you would like to explore the idea of talking through any areas of difficulty that so often confront many of us. 

Bereavement Support

When we lose someone very dear to us, it is often good to be able to talk to someone sympathetic, but also experienced in helping people through difficult times such as these. Our clergy are available to provide support and spiritual solace to anyone who asks. 

Please do get in touch if you would like to speak to the Rector or Vicar.

Naturally, there are many different ways of doing this and so our worship services come in various styles in order to appeal to a wide range of people.

On Sundays we have three different - in some ways contrasting - forms of service and there are other meetings for worship during the week.
