Rev'd Claire Bentham says:
"Cafe Church is back! We’ll spend time thinking about what it means to love God and love each other. There will be lots of ways for children to get stuck in, and time to have a cuppa and a slice of cake afterwards as we get to know each other better. If you’ve never been to church before, or if it’s been a while, this is the perfect place to start. We would love to welcome you!"

The Tea, Cake and Chat afternoons are open to all in the village, and beyond. They are usually held on the first Monday of the month in St Margaret’s, from 2.30 - 4.00 pm. Do come and bring a friend for a friendly afternoon and reasonable cup of tea, always with cake. There is no charge, but any monies collected (after deduction of expenses) go towards the upkeep of St Margaret's church building.

Contact Jane McQuoid on 01962 885434 for more details.

On this Remembrance Sunday, our service will be lay-led by our church warden Melinda Samms and others. It will be at the later time of 10:45, so that the two-minute silence is nearer to 11:00. All are welcome.

There will be laying of a wreath at the Memorial Garden (on Downs Road, near the bus stop outside the church) beforehand.

The Mother’s Union is a worldwide organisation which, underpinned by prayer and fundraising, aims to support people and families who need help, and campaign to improve their lives. The South Wonston Branch meets on a monthly basis (excluding August), usually on the second Tuesday. We welcome all who are interested in our work to support family life. You don't have to be a mum or even female!

On the second Wednesday of every month, there will be a service of Holy Communion in the Chapel at St Margaret's, led by Rev'd Claire Bentham.

It will be a short, simple form of Holy Communion, with time for prayer for us, our churches and our mission. The service itself will only last 20-30 mins (no sermon, music to listen to but no hymns) and Rev'd Claire says she won't be rushing off, so anyone who wants to stay longer to talk or pray is welcome to do so.

South Wonston Primary School is more than happy for us to be there, but asks that we come in via the North Steps from Downs Rd, and if possible do not park in the school carpark.

All are welcome. Members of other churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion and others are invited to come forward for a blessing.
