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): ***** 1st Sunday of the month: Holy Communion led by Rev'd Claire Bentham. This service is held at 11:00 to allow Rev'd Claire to travel from Micheldever after the morning services there. Due to the later start time, refreshments are served before the service, not after. ***** 2nd Sunday of the month (and 5th Sunday, if there is one): A lay-led service at 10:00, and a family 'messy' event at 16:00. ***** 3rd Sunday of the month: Holy Communion. ***** 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] ***** 2026-08-28 updated by ALP
