Blessing of a Same Sex Civil Marriage

At present only opposite sex couples may marry in the Church of England.

In February 2023 the Church of England allowed parish churches to offer prayers of blessing,
known as Prayers of Love and Faith, for those who have entered into a same sex civil marriage.

We joyfully offer Prayers of Love and Faith, which takes place during a Sunday service.
Please contact Revd. Hannah Gordon, Rector for more information.

Planning your Visit

Sunday Services

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at St Margaret’s Church for our Sunday Services . We usually have two services of differing styles on offer, Holy Communion will be celebrated at one of these services every week. 
 
9am  This is a traditional service using liturgy from Common Worship, usually  with hymns
10.15am This is a more contemporay service with music led by our worship band, groups for children and young people and a longer sermon
 
We will hold a Unified service at 10am celebrating the best of both traditions. This will be for occasions such as Remembrance Sunday, Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, and our Patronal Festival. We will also come together as one church family when there is a 5th Sunday in the month.  

In term time, children and young people start off in church at the 10.15am service and are invited to go to their groups although babies and children of all ages are welcome to stay in church at any time.
Contact our Youth and Community Leader for further details.

Coffee and tea is served after both services.

Accessibility: We have step-free access and a sound loop. There is an accessible toilet with baby changing facilities in both the church and the Orchard.
