Greens Norton is large village with a population of around 1600 and which fortunately still has a Post Office / shop, local butchers, pub, community centre, Royal British Legion Club and a primary school .
St Bartholomew's has a service every Sunday at 11:15am where you will find a warm welcome from the congregation. If 11:15am is too late for you don't worry as there is always a weekly 9:15am service at one of the other services in the benefice.
As benefice we are very active across our communities every day, with weekly Tots Groups, leading Collective Worship in our Primary School, supporting wellbeing in the local secondary school (Sponne School) based in Towcester, services and visiting at local residential and nursing homes, and as part of Churches Together in Towcester supporting the work of the Foodbank and Renew Wellbeing Cafe. There are many other areas of community life in which the church plays it part and we have strong links with local groups and organisations including the Royal British Legion.
We have a Children and Families Leader who works across the benefice leading seasonal family focused events. During the week her main focus is split between the parishes of Greens Norton and Towcester. These are interactive and creative sessions where we encourage the whole family to take part and engage and reflect on faith for them and what spirituality means for them.
We have a benefice we have a small but dedicated Mother Union who alternate their meetings between Towcester and Greens Norton.
