Being With
Exploring Life and Faith together
Being With is for anyone who’s curious about faith — or wondering if the Christian faith has something meaningful to offer. It’s for those who perhaps feel on the edge of church — uncertain, disconnected, hurt, or simply searching for something deeper. It’s also for those who’ve never explored faith before but feel open to discovering more together with others.
St Michael and All Angels, Chalton; Thursdays from 2 pm to 3.30 pm on: 16/7, 23/7, 6/8, 20/8, 27/8, 3/9, 10/9, 17/9, 24/9, 8/10. Register by emailing Canon Wendy at kennedyjandw@outlook.com or phone 07449 300693.

Blendworth: Red
Chalton: Yellow
Idsworth: Blue
News of the roof at Blendworth
Holy Trinity is now closed for services and will be handed over to the contractor to begin preparation for the work on the roof on Monday 13th April. There will be no access to the church or church car park by anyone unless given permission by the contractors. Our Church architect, Ross Aylward, will be supervising the work, but if you have any queries, please speak to the Churchwardens or Revd Joy first.
We urgently need to raise money to replace the chancel roof and complete the inside ceiling of the church. Please consider buying a tile for £5 to remember a loved one or as a commemorative present. Buy online at Buy a Roof Tile. Buy a tile and have a place in our Church History.
