Church Services
In general each of the four parishes hold a service in their church every Sunday. On the first Sunday in the month Stoke Hammond and the Methodist Church hold a Joint Family Service, which alternates between the two churches. If there is a fifth Sunday in the month there is just one service in the Benefice, held in one of the churches on a rotational basis. United Benefice Services are also held on days such as Ash Wednesday and Ascension Day.
The services are normally held in the church but occasionally a special service may be held in the Parish/Community/Church Hall, a marquee or even outdoors.
The Rector produces a monthly Newsletter giving details of the services in each of the parishes. A copy of these service schedules is available at the bottom of the "Home" page and can be downloaded as a PDF file.
