Wychwood
Benefice
A benefice of three rural parishes in the Cotswolds
22 January, 2020
On Sunday at Messy Church we thought about how we serve one another and in doing so we serve Jesus himself. We serve others when we help them, when we help around the house and by looking after the environment. The activities included decoration biscuits, making masks, and playing games.
Join us at the next Messy Church on Sunday 16 February 4-6pm at Wychwood School.
Here’s a print friendly booklet of all the services planned this year to pin up at home: Service Rota 2020 Year A
Copies are also availalbe in the churches and the Benefice Centre behind Milton Church.
