Family Services

You are welcome to join us at our family services, which are generally held on the first and second Sunday at 9.45 am in Droxford Church and on the second and fourth Sunday in Meonstoke Church

also at 9.45 am.

The service is designed for children of all ages and we hope that it will appeal to teenagers and adults, too. The service is supported by our young persons orchestra (and by the way, new musicians are always welcome!).  The children's orchestra and music is led by Annabel Armstrong (Tel: 877130) and Victoria Smith (Tel: 877278).

Before the services start we offer coffee, juice, and buns at 9.30, as we know how hard is to get children ready to go out in the morning; then we aim to start the 40 minute service promptly at quarter to ten.

St Wilfrid Pilgrimage Trail

Wilfrid was born in Northumberland in 634 and we know something of his life from the writings of the Venerable Bede in the early eighth century.  Wilfrid was born into a wealthy family at a time of religious upheaval.  Wilfrid’s parents had become Christian, and when his mother died when he was thirteen he was sent to Lindisfarne for his education in the Celtic Christian tradition under the Celtic St Aidan and later in the Catholic tradition in Rome. 

In 658 he returned to England  and then began a long period of Christian teaching and ministry, some of which was spent in the Meon Valley.  For more information about St Wilfrid and in particular about the Pilgrimage Trail, go to www.wilfrid-meon-pilgrimage.co
