St Mary's church situated in the centre of the village is home to three regular services each month plus a number of celebrations throughout the year.
On the first Friday of each month we have a simple Communion Service. This is timed to coincide with school drop off and we have a creche available if you would like to bring pre-school children. This is a short service that is followed by coffee and an opportunity to chat to others there and discuss the reading from that service.
The second Sunday of each month at 11am is our Family Service. This service is aimed at all ages and people are always welcome to get involved.
Our Communion Service is on the fourth Sunday of the month again at 11am. This where possible will be led by Andrea and tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service.
In addition to our regular services we have others throughout the year to celebrate religious festivals. Our Live Nativity on Christmas Eve sees numbers of over 250 adults and children and 1 "donkey"!
We were delighted to welcome Reverend Andrea Watkins to the Spencer Benefice (covering East Haddon, Great Brington, Church Brampton, Harlestone, Whilton and Norton) in June 2019.
