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.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Margaret of Antioch, our patron saint.
The Festival starts with a Benefice Service of Holy Communion at 11:00. (Please see separate event listing for details of that.)

BRING & SHARE BUFFET LUNCH: This year, the Patronal Festival Lunch which follows the service will take the form of a Bring & Share Buffet Lunch. This will not be a sit-down lunch as such, but there will be plenty of tables and chairs for people to sit at if desired. Our social area (shared with the school) will be used for this event, but, weather permitting, we will be able to spill out into the school grounds adjoining the church facilities.

FLORAL DISPLAY: The theme deemed suitable for the Patronal Festival floral display this year is 'The Olympics'! If you feel like contributing a floral arrangement, this theme provides plenty of scope for good ideas, perhaps representing a country, an event or a person.

We see this occasion as a lovely opportunity to invite guests from other churches to stay after the service and enjoy our hospitality, so we extend a warm welcome to all. Further details will be provided by our church warden Melinda Samms shortly and updated here. Watch this space!

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.

During the lockdown period, we used ZOOM to worship together on Wednesday evenings with Compline at 8 pm. This proved very popular, so we decided to carry on post-lockdown.

Please contact Stuart Pugh on 07851 694 569 if you wish to be included. You will need internet access on a suitable device such as a tablet, PC or smartphone. A link to the service sheet is provided below.
