Church services online

We plan for our very first online worship service to premier on Youtube.com tomorrow morning at 10:15am. Youtube is very easy to use. You just need to type in J22 Benefice and you will find our channel, or use the link below.

The service will be approx 35 minutes, allowing you to tune into the cenotaph or observe the 2 minute silence in whatever way you wish after it.

Visit the Remembrance Poppy Cross in the churchyard this weekend

We  invite you to make use of our ‘Poppy Cross Prayer Station’ as a place to lay a poppy, or tie a ribbon and say an individual prayer of remembrance. You can visit the Poppy Cross, situated at the top of St Peter’s  new churchyard, while out on your daily exercise between 8th and 11th November . 

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, very sadly we will not be able to hold  the usual Service of Remembrance in church.
