Children are welcome at all our churches. Hormead has a church room with toilet and baby changing facilities. We encourage children to take part in the services.

MID-WEEK
HOLY COMMUNION (Currently Suspended)
Brent Pelham Church, Wednesdays*, 9.30am
An informal service where all are welcome. We hear a reading or two, say a psalm, listen to a short talk and stand around the altar for an intimate holy communion.
Coffee and a chat are usually available afterwards.
*There is no service on the Wednesday after Christmas or the Wednesday of Holy Week (before Good Friday).
MONTHLY COMPLINE
If you are looking for a service of quiet reflection and prayer, why not explore the traditional service of Compline (or Night Prayer). Apart from during Lent and at Christmas, It is usually held twice a month:
On the second Wednesday of the month at 8pm. We use the Prayer book Compline with a reflection and silent prayer. It takes place in the beautiful, Grade I listed, St Gile's Church in Wyddial.
On the last Wednesday of the month at 8.30pm, using a Night Prayer format, and is held in Meesden Village Hall.
MORNING and EVENING PRAYER:
Participate with thousands of other Christians by logging on to the Church of England website or downloading the excellent 'Daily Prayer' app on your mobile or tablet.
