Events & Activities held in the week at St Margaret’s Church

We believe that being part of St Margaret’s church family involves more than just Sunday services. There’s lots going on in the week to help you connect with God and enjoy the company of others.

Daily Morning Prayer

Morning prayer is held at 9am on Monday – Thursdays in St Margaret’s. This simple service with three scripture readings and an opportunity to pray for God’s work in our Parish, local, national and global issues is a great way to start the day. Just come in and join us in the prayer corner.  This informal time of prayer finishes by 9.30am.

Wednesday Holy Communion

This mid-week Holy Communion service starts at 12.15pm with a short reflection led by a lay member of the Parish. One of our four clergy take it in turns to preside at this Parish service followed by a hot lunch at 12.45pm.

Monday Bell Ringing Practise

St Margaret’s Handbell Ensemble practise on Monday afternoon at 3.30pm every other week. This alternates with the Community Choir. The Tower Bell practise is on Monday evening at 7.15pm.  Contact Ann Somes – the Bell Ringing Secretary, if you wish to come along to one of these practises.

Coffee Morning

Join us for a cup of fresh ground coffee or tea and homemade cakes from 10am – 12pm on Wednesdays.  Whether you just want to chat or bring some craft work or join in some creative activities, everyone is welcome.  Rev Sally Baily is normally around all morning for those who want to catch up with her.  Feel free to stay for the Holy Communion service at 12.15pm which is followed by a hot lunch. Our four clergy take it in turns to preside at this Parish service.

Thursday Worship Band Practise

Our Worship Band usually practises on Thursday evenings at 7pm in St Margaret’s. Age is no barrier to joining the music group as we currently have guitarists and drummers from age 12 upwards. If you would like more information contact Hammad Baily or Rev Sally Baily

Gardening Team

If you are a keen gardener or just like to do weeding please do come and join our gardening team on most Saturday and Monday mornings from 10.30am to 1.pm during the growing season (April to October). See Events page for confirmed dates.  No experience necessary, tools provided. Please speak to Maxine or Jenny when you arrive.

Life Groups

Jesus spent 3 years doing life with His disciples in order to prepare them for living in the world as His followers. Our life groups are intended to equip people for living as Christians today. We study the bible together, share food, pray for one another and offer pastoral support in times of need. We are currently studying a 15 week called Jesus-Shaped People. If you like to join us on this discipleship adventure please do come along to St Margaret’s on Tuesday evenings at 7pm or St Andrew’s on Monday morning at 11am. These are open life groups that you can join from 1st September 2019.
