We’re really looking forward to celebrating our wonderful village and all that goes on around the church, it’s set to be a lovely day for all the family! 💐

As part of the day, we’ll be holding a raffle to raise funds for the church and future community events.

🎁 Could you help?
We’re looking for raffle prizes and would be so grateful for any donations, big or small! Vouchers, gifts, experiences, or handmade items would all be amazing.

If you’re a local business or just feeling generous 😊, we’d love to hear from you.

Please drop us a message or speak to a member of the church if you can help.

Thank you so much for supporting our community 💛

Our newly-mown churchyard looked beautiful today for the funeral of Win Clark aged 101. This is a very special space where generations of current village families have been laid to rest, their graves lovingly tended by their current descendants. It's also used by other villagers as a place for reflection or to just get away from it all. However this year it will cost £2500 to mow and tend, money our church can ill afford. Please do help us raise this sum via https://givealittle.co/c/7XShj7GPfaCVZl1NWxPRGQ to keep our churchyard looking so special

This Sunday is Rogation Sunday and, "Rogare" being Latin for "Ask" we leave our church and go walk about about the village and the farm to ask a blessing on livestock, crops, our rural businesses, and our community. Last stop is to bless our "place of hospitality" before going in for a bacon roll and coffee. We start at South Moreton Church at 1030am and end up at The Crown around 11.15-1130am if you just want to show up for that bit! Looking forward to seeing you somewhere along our route!

Just to remind everyone that it is the Church and Churchyard Spring Tidy Up this Saturday from 1000-1230hrs. Please come armed with cleaning materials and/or gardening tools as takes your fancy. We will provide refreshments (a church marches on cake), the excellent company and the stunning repartees!

The Easter weekend is off to a sunny start, and we’re celebrating Easter Sunday, the most important day of the Christian year, with a Holy Communion service at 10.30am.
We’re delighted to welcome the Revd Phil Sutton as our visiting preacher, though he may be disconcerted when the children head off for the Easter Egg Hunt in the churchyard during the service!
Easter Day is always a joyful and dramatic service, beginning with the Blessing of the Pascal Candle, followed by coffee and biscuits before everyone heads home for lunch.
All are very welcome to join us and share in the heart of this special weekend.

It was World Book Day this week and at 10.30.am on Sunday Morning South Moreton Church will have its very own World Church Day! Our special preacher will be the Diocesan World Church Adviser who just happens to be Maranda St John Nicolle, wife of our Rector Jason. Our Gospel reading is about Jesus and the Samarian women at the well, emphasising that the Gospel is for people of all lands and cultural backgrounds. We will have a new altar server making her debut and Lewis, our organist will play hymns about Lent (the current church "season") but also about the church across the world. Lewis is bringing his guitar and we will finish with a rousing chorus of The Whole World in His Hands. There will be arts & crafts for kids and coffee, squash and biscuits afterwards. We hope to see you there!
