Busbridge Church reopening celebration, 8 September…!
This is a whole benefice service and there are no other morning services at Busbridge, and the 9am Heritage Service at Hambledon will start at the earlier time of 8.30am. There will be great activities for all our young people during the service, along with an ice cream van and bouncy castles in the Old Rectory. Lunch will follow the service.

The lastest TROT (The Re-Ordering Team) update fully explains what’s happened, what’s next and what’s needed!

We are taking part in a national prayer event which calls Christians all over the UK to pray for their neighbours and their communities simultaneously.
