WELCOME
​
St Mary’s and St John’s are the Church of England (Anglican) churches, serving our parishes and welcoming everyone to worship and activities. We are engaged in the life of our communities and are glad that our buildings are there for the benefit of all. Our congregations are friendly and inclusive, of all ages and backgrounds. St Mary’s worship at 10.30am is in the catholic tradition in the glorious setting of our 13th century church, with a robed choir and incense. St John’s at 9am is more informal, in our beautiful setting amongst trees and fields. We also hold a family friendly relaxed Morning Worship in The Bede House in Higham each week at 9am. We regularly hold special activities and services for children, young people and families. We would be delighted to hear from you if you’d like to know more about our worship and many weekly events, or if you are enquiring about a wedding, baptism, or funeral. We welcome all in Christ’s name - if you are new to this area, or would like to find out more, please get in touch
We welcome all in Christ's Name
