For Lent 2025 (which started on Ash Wednesday) Rev'd Jo Criscenti has decided that we will look at how we pray, both during church services and as individuals. As you are probably aware, Lent is the time leading up to Easter Sunday when we may decide to give up some of our indulgences, or alternatively take something up!

This Lent Course will be over six sessions on Tuesday evenings (please see separate event listings for each of the sessions).
On this particular evening (11th March) our topic is:
Prayer during worship - identifying and understanding why there are different forms of prayer.

The Lent Course is open to anyone who would like to attend from across the Dever Benefice, whether you are an intercessor (lead the prayers in church) or not.

If you would like to join us, please email the church warden on [email protected]

There are a few lunches happening in the Dever Benefice during Lent. One that concerns St Margaret's is happening on Tuesday 25th March, in the Victoria Hall in Sutton Scotney. There is free parking at this venue.

The respective church wardens of Holy Trinity, Wonston and St Margaret's, South Wonston will once again be jointly hosting this lunch. It will begin at 12:30 (one can drop in any time from then) and will run on until around 14:30.

The format will be the same as last year. Lunch will be as many bowls of delicious home-made soup, garnishes and bread as you can manage, in a communal and convivial atmosphere.

All donations received on the day will be split between St Margaret’s and Holy Trinity churches.

For catering purposes, please notify our church warden that you would like to come, at the email address provided below. Do come and support it if you are able, and if one or two people are able to volunteer some help on the day, that would be even better.
