Orwell Group
The Orwell Group Benefice is part of the Diocese of Ely
The Benefice has five churches covering five parishes and we are here to serve you whether you are a regular church attender or not. As rural parishes, many of our congregations have members of various traditions worshipping together, be they Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic, or whatever, and all are welcome. After all we all worship the same one God.
Our church buildings are old, and worship and spiritual development have been going on formally for at least a thousand years if not more. Even if the buildings have changed, that does not mean we fossilise, and as social changes occur around us we endeavour to respond to the challenges that are presented.
Every 2nd Sunday there is Benefice Eucharist that rotates around the Parishes. If you want to attend a Service on the 2nd Sunday then you may have to check each of the Parishes in turn: Arrington, Barrington, Croydon, Orwell and then Wimpole. 5th Sundays are also part of this rotation.
