Join us for half an hour on a Friday morning for a small informal prayer group. We are currently praying for God’s guidance and support as we search for a new Rector in the Benefice.
Silent prayer and gentle Bible reading and listening. Rooted in the Christian tradition and open to people of any or no faith. All are welcome.
On the 5th Sunday of the month, the 3 churches of the Benefice come together to share Holy Communion. The service takes place at either 10am (when in St Mary's Gillingham) or 10:30am (when in St Simon & Jude, Milton on Stour or St Nicholas, Silton).
On 29 December, the service will be BCP Holy Communion, held at St Nicholas, Silton.

This will be the only service in the benefice this Sunday and everyone from the three parishes is encouraged to attend to demonstrate our unity, fellowship and love for one another in Christ as a single benefice.
