Choral Evensong

for 45 mins
Welcome to St Helen's Church, Berrick Salome
Church Lane Berrick Salome Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 6JP, United Kingdom

On Sunday 30 July 2023 there will be a Benefice Choral Evensong held at St Helen's Church. The service will start at 4 pm and will last for approximately 45 minutes, followed by refreshments.

The service is essentially that composed by Archbishop Cranmer in the sixteenth century, but contains texts which are much earlier.

At our service the choir will sing an Introit 'Day by Day' by Martin How (1931-2022) and the anthem 'O for a Closer Walk with God' by C V Stanford (1852-1924). You are very welcome to join in the singing of three hymns, the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, and Psalm 150 (set to a chant by C V Stanford).

We hope that you will find prayerful reflection on what is said and sung a worthy offering to God. We live in a busy world; it is our prayer that this act of worship may both glorify God and provide an opportunity for the recharging of spiritual batteries.

September 2025 - Ride and Stride

This year Brian Mackenzie was again very public spirited and volunteered for a sponsored bike ride on behalf of our wonderful mediaeval church and the Oxfordshire trust which supports churches like ours.

Sponsored bike rides on our local roads can be quite treacherous for families, but Brian offered to do it on behalf of all of us!

Thank you for all your donations which have reached  £412.50 to date - but there us still time to donate if you haven't already done so... click here to access the dedicated webpage which will remain open until October.

Thank you so much!
