All events Calendar

Welcome to the ACNY website of St Margaret's, South Wonston. Our current typical event pattern is as follows (but please check the specific event listings which may on occasion vary from this): 2nd Sunday of the month: A lay-led service at 10:00, and a family 'messy' event at 16:00. 4th Sunday of the month: Family-friendly Café Church at 10:00. Every Tuesday afternoon in term time, 15:15 - 16:30: Drop-in youth group, aimed at the kids coming off the Henry Beaufort bus, but anyone in school years 7-11 is welcome. Rev'd Claire Bentham says: "If anyone is free on Tuesdays between 15:00 and 17:00 and would like to come and serve the youth of the village, do drop me a line. The group will be led entirely by skilled youth workers, we’re just looking for people who can make drinks and toast, who can chat and get alongside the young people who come, and who can commit to at least two Tuesday afternoons per school term. No previous experience of working with teenagers necessary!" Rev'd Claire can be contacted at [email protected]

Patronal Festival Holy Communion

for 1 hour
St Margaret's
Downs Road South Wonston Winchester, SO21 3EH, United Kingdom

On this the 7th Sunday after Trinity, our Benefice Service of Holy Communion, which will be led by Rev'd David Mapes, also marks a few other events. It will be a celebration of the St Margaret's Church building's 30th birthday (although the first service was actually on an Easter Sunday in 1997). The church birthday will however be relatively low-key, because a more important event in the present life of the church is the last Benefice Service of Rev'd Joanna Criscenti.
We are hoping to provide a floral display with the church 30th birthday theme.
This special service will be followed by lunch to which everyone in the Dever Benefice is invited.
