Services

Our normal pattern of services

We  normally hold services each month in the two churches in our benefice, in Shipbourne or Plaxtol . With effect from 1 September 2026 there have been some changes in the normal pattern of services; the revised pattern of services is set out below.

There are also special services for Christmas  and Easter and other festivals of the church: for details of these services, see below.

Every weekday at 8.30am Morning Prayer has been said at Plaxtol and every weekday evening (except Friday and Saturday) at 4.30pm, Evening Prayer has been said at St Giles Shipbourne ; this has been suspended during the current vacancy.
