FOR ALL STAGES OF THE JOURNEY AND ALL AGES OF LIFE. Sunday School, Contemporary Music.
This service, at a slightly earlier time than usual and is designed to be more accessible to families as well as other demographics in our villages. Whilst this is designed to be more engaging and informative to younger demographics and newcomers to church, it is no less deep and will have plenty to keep the longstanding church member fed.
Come along and join us.

Light up our beautiful church tower in memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special event.

An opportunity to meet Christ in this most Holy Sacrament - a top-up, if you will, in the middle of the week.
This simple, yet profoundly holy service, will enrich you and enable you to refocus in the middle of a busy week. Join us! It lasts just 30 minutes.

This rich and deeply enriching service is currently available live online via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/boxriverbenefice
This service, sometimes also called Mass or Holy Communion, is the staple bedrock of the church. It is deeply evocative, and draws all present into the sublime mystery of the Lord's Supper. We explore scripture, pray and are caught up in the power of the ritual together, as one body. As we gather around God's Table and hear Christ's words to 'Do this is remembrance of me', we are drawn into a mystery of timeless truth and united with each other in a deeply spiritual way. As we kneel before the Holy Altar we do so with others of all ages, social situations, races, sexualities and nationalities. And we realise that we are all equal before the eyes of our Creator God. This is community as it was designed to be. All are welcome at this service, old and young.

An open & friendly small gathering offering an opportunity to ask those questions about faith that you’ve always been too shy to ask before. Wednesdays at 4.00 pm, 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th March at Mary’s House, 5 Swan St, Boxford.

The very popular and evocative BCP Evensong has returned. It now happens on the 2nd Sunday of every month. It includes a choir and is a lovely way to celebrate and pray in the evening for the week ahead. It uses the beautifully crafted and poetic traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer which reaches the parts other prayer books cannot reach.

Coffee, cake and a chat, everyone welcome

A relaxed morning of coffee, cake and a natter.

Join us as we celebrate the Mothers in our lives.

Everyone is welcome from within the Benefice and beyond.
