Church in the Woottons Through the Week:

Young Church meets at 10 am every Sunday in term-time either on its own or as part of the worship at All Saints. There are also activities for children at St Mary's Cafe Church on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month at 10am in South Wootton Village Hall, across the road from the church.  Combined Junior and Senior choir practice Thursdays 7.00 - 8.00 pm in term time.

Saturday 9.30 am Weekly Hour of Prayer at the Rectory, followed by coffee. Festivals are usually marked with a Eucharist, sometimes sung. Communion at home is welcomed for any who can't get to Church (contact the Rectory).

The Prayer Chain is a means by which a few church members pray about any personal needs in confidence. If you have health problems or other such needs and would like confidential prayer, please contact Margaret Tate (672474).

We always like to hear of people who would appreciate being visited either at home or in hospital; please contact the Rectory or Geoff Sturgeon (671050) if we can help in this way.

If you are without transport and need a lift to Church, a number of folk are willing to help.

Please contact the Rectory Office or email us
