"Feast" is an open invitation to the Dever Benefice to come together for a communal meal, where we can gather to get to know one another and have a gentle discussion on something topical and theological. We will enjoy time in each other's company and share how our faith speaks into our daily lives.

We will be meeting in the church, but all the food will be prepared in people's homes.

**For catering purposes**
Everyone is very welcome, but please let church warden Melinda know in advance if you are planning on coming (email address below), so we have enough food, and also please indicate if you have any dietary requirements.

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!

Please contact Mrs Mary Cleal, email [email protected], for information regarding times and venues.

Rev'd Claire Bentham has provided an update about some changes to youth group this term. She says: "The group will still meet on a Tuesday afternoon, with snacks, games (like table football, xBox, table tennis etc), quiet space in the chapel, board games and card games, and crafts, but will be meeting at a slightly later time. The new time is 16:30-17:45, which we hope will allow young people from different schools to attend."

The group is for young people of secondary school age. "If you know any young people in school years 7-11 then do tell them about it - we would love to see them!"

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.

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.
