Welcome to St Margaret’s church

St Margaret's church

St. Margaret’s is a welcoming and friendly village church community drawn from many different denominations and backgrounds. We rejoice in our diversity, yet share the desire to assist one another in discovering our full potential in Christ.

We are also an outward looking church, which engages with the world around us in a variety of ways. Our mission is to help people become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

We belong to the Diocese of Lichfield in the Church of England, yet welcome you whatever your background.

If you would like more information about who we are, please feel free to come along to a service.

We understand that some may find the thought of attending worship at church too daunting; if that’s you, then why not join us in the Reading Room one Saturday morning and perhaps try a bacon bap or a coffee?

Opportunities

We could do with some help in running our services at St. Margaret’s in two important ways.

We really need an extra person (or two!) to join the rota once a month, on dates to suit you, for either Duty Warden or assisting Ruth Fish with the ‘Little Lambs’ in the vestry.
