We love God, his word and his spirit. We're passionate about serving our local community, nation and world, and seeing lives changed in the name of Jesus.
At the moment we cannot meet in our churches but although the buildings may be closed the church, which is the people, certainly is not! Join us on our facebook page: Sancroft Benefice Churches and our website sancroftbeneficechurches.org for short services of morning and evening prayer and join us for our Sunday service at 10 am (or later if you like), online - all are welcome.
We also send out a weekly email with information, a copy of the Sunday service and some pages for children to do, if you would like to be included email me [email protected] and I will add you to the list.
If you have any questions about what we are doing, who we are, questions about church or faith please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Take care and God bless, Susan (Revd Susan Loxton, rector)
