Candlemas Service 11th Feb 10.30am

Occuring
for 1 hour
Venue
St John the Baptist's Church, South Moreton
Address
Church Lane South Moreton Didcot, OX11 9AF, United Kingdom

South Moreton's delayed Candlemas service will be on 11th February at 10.30am. Officially known as The Presentation of Christ in The Temple, it's the last of the celebrations following the Birth of Christ, so if you still have your decs up, they need to come down on the official date of 2nd February ! We will supply the candles, but for many of the 1300 years South Moreton Church has existed, villagers would have brought candles to be blessed that would light their homes throughout the coming year. It’s nice to be a part of that continuity, and we look forward to welcoming a good number of members of our community that day, as we have for so long!

St John the Baptist's Church, South Moreton

Welcome to South Moreton Church and thanks for looking us up!  Dedicated to St John the Baptist, we are the Parish Church for our village and part of the Church Benefice Group of Churches. We hold regular services at 1030 am on the second Sunday of the month and at Christmas and Easter, with outside services for Remembrance Sunday, Rogation Sunday and carol singing. We can also join in the online services run by our Benefice every Sunday at 10.30 which you can read about at The Churn Benefice (see menu left) .

Most of our administration, including arranging Baptisms, weddings and funerals, is handled through the Churn Benefice Office in Blewbury, where Jason, our Rector, is based. He would love to hear from you so please do get in touch! You can call him or our Administrator on 01235 850267 or email [email protected] . In the village, you are also welcome to call Simon Hill, one of our churchwardens, on 07733 266395 or email him on [email protected] .
