Dear friends,

I hope you are having a great week so far.

We have recently upgraded our website and communications package, which means we are able to email you directly with the latest weekly newsletter, how exciting! This saves you from having to click through from our email to our website to get the latest news. We hope everything works as it should, but if you notice anything out of place this time do please let us know so we can rectify it for next week!

Last Sunday a few of us went on the first of our Lent walks around Aldworth. It was a beautiful walk full of laughter, and sunshine. We ended up in the church sharing tea and crumpets together. This week our Lent walk sets off from St. Clement’s, Ashampstead at 2pm on Sunday. If you are around and fancy a little meditative meander around our beautiful countryside, you are most welcome to join us.

Love,

Revd Grant

Confirmation Service - 28th April 2024

We are thrilled to announce an upcoming service of confirmation on the 28th of April at St. Stephen’s Church which will be for the whole benefice. This joyous occasion marks a significant milestone in the spiritual journey of people in our community. This marvellous service will be taken by Bishop Tim Wambunya, an Oxford Diocese Assistant Bishop.
