Offering love, hope and prayer
Being Church in Challenging Times
The two churches in the South Newbury benefice, St George & St John, have created this website to keep us all in touch,
to keep inspired, and to keep caring for our communities.
Two Churches, One Vision
Following the recent easing of lockdown arrangements by the government, the benefice churches are now able to open for both private prayer and for limited public worship. Fuller details can be found here
If you require help right now, or simply somebody to talk to - please contact us through the website here

The two churches of the benefice are open for limited services of public worship.
Everyone is welcome, but we request that you contact either the office or clergy if you intend to come as numbers are limited.
The times are;
9.00am St George
9.30am St John
11am St George/Benefice Team
For many in our congregations attending church will not be an option, and so we are committed to keeping our online presence intact.
These services will be different though. They will now be streamed live from the 11am service. Which creates new technological challenges for us all. Please bear with us if there are teething problems.
The 11am Benefice service will be streamed from our YouTube channel, http://tiny.cc/stg-stj
The precise link to the service will be available here and will go live on Sunday.
Virtual tea and coffee chat has become a staple of our Sunday activity, we intend to keep it that way, but now at a revised time of 12-12.30pm.
Please do join us.
