The Great War in our parish

We are working with the Friends of Rock Road Library to create a detailed picture of the involvement of the people and buildings of this parish in the Great War.

If you have information about the Great War which you would like to share with us, please contact Roger Lilley.

What's been happening......

'Come and See'

We spent a lovely weekend with our 'Come and See' event. Exploring prayer and the ways in which we can pray. A truly inspiring, prayerful weekend.

We had a wonderful Messy Church on Saturday 1st April. There were lots of crafts, the Easter story and a fun bunny hunt, organised by one of our children, Charlotte.

A fun creative time was had by all. Keep checking here for our next messy afternoon!

Information

Children's Church

The first Sunday of every month is our All Age service, when we stay in church and take part in the main service. We meet on every other Sunday of the month (except in August) during the morning service for crafts, stories, games and fun!

Children and young people of school age are very welcome. Preschool children are also welcome with parents. There is a creche available in the children's corner in church for 0-5s and children who would prefer to stay in the main service.

For any further information please contact the church office or email the team at revnellwhiscombe@gmail.com.
