A progressive and inclusive benefice in the south of Newbury
Prayer and Reflection
Prayer is at the heart of everything we do. The Benefice offers many tools and resources to help nurture our spirituality when we cannot gather together.
Morning Prayer – currently taking place via Zoom, Morning Prayer takes place on Wednesday and Thursday at 8.50pm. Details area available from the office.
Church open for prayer – St George’s Church is open for personal prayer and contemplation on Tuesday – Thursday each week from 10am – 2pm, and on Sunday from 9am – 3pm (with full social-distance compliance). At present, St John’s Church is not open for personal prayer – but this may change.
Prayer intentions – a Weekly Prayer Diary is sent out by email including prayers for named individuals, together with prayer intentions for the week for our benefice, the local community and the wider world. The full list of prayer intentions for the month can be access here.

Dear friends, we are all facing great challenges, and alongside many other parts of our usual social life, the church has had to respond, and we have had to restrict our social gatherings and limit our services.
What this means is a different kind of church, because we are church in many more ways than meeting on Sunday services… St George’s and St John’s are both working to find ways to nurture and support our communities…
