This Sunday

8.30am Communion – this quiet Communion Service is a great opportunity to enjoy a reflective time of worship and to experience the riches of the Book of Common Prayer (but in 21st-century language!). The service is followed by coffee and croissants with some biblical teaching.

10.00am All Age Worship – we also look forward to welcoming our younger families to join us for this relaxed service designed for All Ages—from 0 to 100! It’s an opportunity for us all to grow in the faith and to enjoy being a Church Family together.

 6pm – Evensong with Revd. Canon Andrew Micklefield

Tuesday 25 February – 7.45pm –  Rectory Prayer Meeting

An entirely NEW Electoral Roll – It is the time of year when our Electoral Roll is revisited in time for our APCM.  This year a new roll is required, which happens every five years, and this means that, rather than just renewing our existing list, everyone will need to complete a form to be included on the new Electoral Roll.  The notice period is 60 days and has begun. If you would like to be on the Itchen Valley Churches Electoral Roll, please download the form from this link, complete it and return it to the Parish Office by Thursday 13 March. This can also be scanned and returned by email to admin@itchenvalleychurches.org.  If you would like to a have a form in hardcopy, please let Beccy know.

APCM: an evening for to be a Church Family Together – Please save the date for this now: Friday 28 March. More details will follow soon, but this year we will be meeting in the Itchen Abbas Village Hall at 6.00pm for the formal APCM meeting, followed by the sharing a meal with a Passover theme (including red wine!). In a dispersed parish such as ours, the APCM is the effectively the only occasion in the year when church members come together as one church family. So we hope this will be a time for good fun and fellowship—please join us!
