The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Sparkford, well known for being most welcoming, has a small but enthusiastic, lively and committed congregation, the majority being from the retired community. The Church has a Facebook page which can be accessed from the Facebook search facility – https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088430196493
The church is well supported by enthusiastic volunteers: including sidespersons and readers; and on the cleaning and key rotas. The key rota allows the church to be open during the day nominally 10am to 4pm depending on the time of the year.
The church generally provides services of traditional Morning Prayer and Holy Communion; whilst from time to time there are more informal acts of worship.
The parish of Sparkford is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer. The benefice website "CamVale Benefice.org.uk"and Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
