The Downs Benefice

Half Night of Prayers - Friday 27th July - St Mary's, Crawley - 6.30pm until Midnight

We are hosting the next Andover Deanery Half Night of Prayers at St Mary's, Crawley on Friday 287th July.

It is an evening of Readings, Prayer and Reflection.

It starts at 6.30pm and continues until Midnight but you are most welcome to come for as little or as long as you like and it would be fantastic to see as many people as possible.

Drivers needed please!

The Care Group in Littleton is becoming short of drivers to take Lunch Club members to the Church Room by 12.15pm, on the first Friday of the month and to collect them again, about 1.45pm, and take them home. If you can help in any way, please contact Shirley Lupton - mands@lupton.plus.com

The church is a prominent building within the village of Chilbolton and is well supported by the community. The name St Mary-the-Less is somewhat of a mystery and it is not really known to which St Mary the church is dedicated. The church was built in the 12th century and extensive alterations have been made over the years.
