St Mary's Church has two Sunday services: the first Sunday of the month, our easy to follow All-Age service, and the third Sunday of the month a Holy Communion service. Both start at the regular time of 9.30am and refreshments are available after the service.
Although the church remains locked at other times, the churchyard is always open, and you are very welcome to wander round and perhaps sit for a while on the bench and enjoy the calm and fresh air. Information about the church can be found in the leaflet dispenser on the church gate.
We look forward to welcoming our regular congregation, and if you are new to the village, or a visitor, you will be very welcome to join us.

Our 9.30am Holy Communion service is a welcoming, uncomplicated service for everyone, whether or not you are a regular confirmed churchgoer; a chance perhaps to make space to enjoy a short time of quiet. We have recently switched to using a newer, more 'user friendly' Holy Communion service booklet (Common Worship) which is being used across the Horringer Benefice and has been warmly received in the other churches. The service lasts about 40 minutes and is followed by coffee and biscuits - definitely of the chocolate variety!
Children are most welcome to all our services, and we have a box of toys and a range of children's books for them to borrow. There is a small carpeted area at the back of the church if required. Small percussion instruments are available for children to play during the hymns.
A small private car park is situated adjacent to the church for use by church-goers and visitors to the churchyard where you are welcome to enjoy the peace and tranquillity, and sit for a while on the bench by the wall.
