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.
