The Victory!

The Victory benefice came into being on 1st September 2022 with the union of St Mary Magdalene (The Church on the green) and St Barnabas. The benefice is run by one PCC drawn from both churches and by individual DCC's which do the day to day housework for each Church. This is an exciting time as we learn to travel and work together to reflect God's glory in this area. The service times and activities can be found on the individual pages of the churches
