All Saints Caldecote
All Saints serves the villages of Lower and Upper Caldecote. We are not just a church but a loving, caring, diverse family that includes, accepts, embraces and encourages equality for everyone. We value each and every member of our community, and we are committed to creating a space where everyone feels accepted and valued.
Our mission is to bring to our wider community the love, care, and encouragement we give each other through the Christian life that we share at All Saints.
Our worship is structured, but not rigid. We worship with a light touch and are prayerful, offering a warm welcome with spiritual nurture at our centre. We are caring and sharing, having fun together, while keeping our focus on God.
If this sounds like the place where you would feel spiritually at home, then come along on Sundays at 9:45 a.m. or Thursdays at 10.30 am

St Mary Virgin Northill
St.Mary Virgin Northill sits at the heart of the community in the picturesque village of Northill. The parish covers Ickwell, Thorncote, Hatch and Budna as well as Northill. Our church has a beautiful, well-maintained 14thC building in a large churchyard.
There is a weekly Sunday Service at 11.15am, usually a Sung Eucharist, (apart from first Sundays when there is a rotational service with the sister churches in the Benefice) and a said Eucharist on Thursday mornings at 9.30am. Special Services are held at all the major festivals. The church is well supported by members of the community. There is a close relationship with the village school and a thriving Friends of St.Mary's.
Both the Church and the Friends put on a number of events throughout the year which bring the community together as well as raising funds.

St Leonard's, Old Warden
The Church of St Leonards is steeped in history, and is famous for its intricate carvings. But it is still a living Church where God is worshipped without fuss week by week. After a long closure for refurbishment, the church is now open for public worship again and we look forward to welcoming people to our simple 8.45 a.m. Sunday service. It takes place every week apart from once a month, usually on the first Sunday of each month, when we have a shared service with our sister Churches, St Mary the Virgin, Northill or All Saint's Caldecote.
