Places to Serve You’ll notice a lot of opportunities to join us in the work & ministry of St. Wilfrid’s below; space on the team who lead Morning Prayer videos, training for those who assist at Communion, and cleaning our gorgeous old stones. You will also know that we’re still looking for our next wardens, a pivotal role in church life and a significant commitment, as well as people to help with a drop-in for young people after school. Please do prayerfully consider what God might be calling you to in our church. I have always found that working alongside people at church to be one of the deepest joys of my faith life. If you would like to talk about any of this, do get in touch with me ([email protected]), or just grab me!
Lay Eucharistic Ministry Training Thanks for bearing with us. This will be re-arranged at a later date, watch this space!
Small Groups Church comes in many different shapes & sizes, and as well as Sunday worship, there's a number of Small Groups that meet regularly on weekdays.

If you have any questions or would like to join or start a Small Group, please contact Victoria via [email protected]. More information about our Small Groups, including FAQs are available on our website here.

Wednesday Morning Prayer Rota You might have noticed that our weekly online Morning Prayer videos have resumed on YouTube, which I know continue to be a blessing to many. If they have been a blessing to you, why not join the team? We are looking for a few new members. No technical knowledge is needed, just a willingness to pray with and for others. If God is nudging you about this, please contact [email protected] and be part of sustaining this ministry!
Bring & Share Lunch You are invited to join us for a Bring & Share Lunch after the joint service tomorrow afternoon! In order for it to be a success, with enough food for everyone, please give the names of everyone in your party, and bring enough food for that number of people, e.g. if jacket potatoes will be your contribution and you are inviting two guests, then you sign in three people and bring three potatoes plus your choice of toppings. So that we have a range of food to share, please check what is already being offered and try not to duplicate items already on the list. We will provide soft drinks and nibbles so there is no need for anyone to bring crisps, etc. Sign-up sheets are in Church. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
Prayers We have begun including individuals in our intercessions on Sunday mornings. Do look out for the bookmarks that will be available with a list of those prayer needs. If you would like to be prayed for, you can write your request on a tag and hang it on the prayer tree, email Sally or Rob, or just have a word with us on Sunday mornings.
