will be Morning Prayer rather than Communion at St Mark on Tuesday morning."
An obituary notice.
We are an inclusive and welcoming group of three communities following the example of
Jesus Christ. Working together locally we seek to encourage one another to live the way Jesus taught
To seek to learn and live a new life as a disciple of Christ.
We share our faith in the local community through organising or hosting various activities. Across the villages we use and take care of four church buildings - St Mark in Ampfield, St Denys in Chilworth and All Saints and St John the Baptist, both in North Baddesley.
On Sunday 9th November there will be an Act of Remembrance at each of the
three War Memorials in the Benefice, as we remember those who gave their
lives in the two world wars and all who have died in combat since.
You are warmly invited to the first ‘The Open Teapot’ - an afternoon of tea/coffee, cake and memories from 3:15-4:45pm on Sunday 10th August 2025 at All Saints Church, North Baddesley.
On Sunday we were delighted to have Bishop Philip visit us for a Communion service and even more delighted that the service included confirmation of three members of our congregations.
