Our next public worship at St Helen's is our monthly Service of Holy Communion using the Book of Common Prayer.

To everyone who contributed to the Choral Evensong held last Sunday 26 January 2025...

Thank you to all singers, readers, and to all those who provided the wonderful selection of canapes and drinks afterwards!

And of course to all of you who came to participate in this lovely reflective service...

To everyone who contributed to the Carol Service and Crib Blessing held on Christmas Eve...

Thank you to all the beautiful female, male and children's voices at the Carol Service on Christmas Eve - superb singing! 

Also thank you to such accomplished readers...

and thank you to all the team who did so much to bring the Carol Service together, and filled our beautiful church to perfection with flowers and what must have been nearly a thousand candles!

Happy Christmas all!🎄

To everyone who helped at the Walking Nativity

Saturday morning 's first Berrick Walking Nativity was the brainchild of Mel, our lovely curate, who has sadly had to move on before being able to see it through...but it was beautifully compiled and delivered today by Rev Michael and his wife Kirsty. Plus huge, huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the morning. There was such a wonderful team of helpers providing so many special ingredients, from the fabulously turned out "Ponkey" (Basil), to the talented minstrels, to the delicious refreshments, and also thank you to many who mucked in at the church to help! What we could not have done without, though, was the magnificent and enthusiastic support of all of you who braved the threatening weather (which DID stay relatively calm for us!) to come and be involved and support it (30 children, 20 adults, 4 dogs and a ponkey (thank you, Pam, for the perfect name!). So 🙏🙏🙏 to you all.
