All events Calendar Lent & Easter

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. Rev'd Claire Bentham says: "We will soon be setting up a drop-in youth group at the church after school on Tuesdays. It will be aimed at the kids coming off the Henry Beaufort bus, but anyone in school years 7-11 is welcome. We would love your prayers for this, but also if anyone is free on Tuesdays between 3 and 5pm 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]
