We celebrated the festival of our patron St Luke on 16th October. The Bishop of Croydon, Rt Rev Dr Rosemarie Mallett preached, and Rev Edward Doyle travelled up with a parishioner from our sister church in Rogate. It was a great celebration, with plenty of delicious food in the hall afterwards! You can listen to the sermon below.

During the Covid pandemic, we held services only on Zoom, recorded and edited them, and posted them here. However, as we’re currently we’re back in church, we’re no longer recording the services, but you can still see past services here. We occasionally record sermons to post here also.
Our service on Zoom held jointly with our sister parish of Rogate. This replaced our traditional trip to meet each other in beautiful Rogate, where, before Covid-19, we were able to walk, pray and eat together to celebrate Rogation Sunday. We shall be there and meet again!
