Welcome

To the website for St. Mary Magdalene, in Geddington

Perhaps you've lived in our village for years but have never ventured through the door, or perhaps you are new to the area and would like to become involved.

One thing we can say for certain: all are warmly welcome.

Geddington Church is far more than a beautiful and historic building to be looked at and admired. It is very much a part of village life and brings people together each week to worship together, either at the quiet eight o’clock service or the livelier 9:45 service.

In an era when some parishes struggle to survive, Geddington Church is glad to have a supportive congregation made up of young and old, with a relaxed atmosphere which is one of acceptance and inclusion.

In addition to our weekly services there are many special events and services throughout the year plus a thriving Sunday School, an active “Friends of the Church” and a lively Church Council which reflects both the experience of senior church members and the enthusiasm of younger people moving into the village.

There are regular and special events and community associations which attempt to improve the spiritual and temporal life of our village and our world.

The Church will also be open for you
during the Summer
commencing Saturday April 3rd
on Saturdays from
10.30.am-4.30pm
and Sundays from
12.30pm-4.30pm

Can you help us keep our doors open?

We all accept that in today's world, churches are more often closed than open, and yet we all feel the wrongness of those locked doors. It is especially hard when the church is one as beautiful and historically important as St Mary Magdalene.

We are trying to change that but we need your help.

Summer is here and we will have tourists and many guests staying with us. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know that this beautiful church will be welcoming them as part of their sightseeing?

We wish to keep the doors open for prayers, contemplation and visitors throughout the summer, especially on weekends, but to do that we need at least two people to sit for short periods to safeguard and provide information about the church.

We already have many volunteers, but we need more.

A few hours every few weeks from just a few more volunteers can fill our schedule. A few hours with a companion of your choice or with one of our many good neighbours from the village. Tea and biscuits can be provided (bring your own milk!) information about the history of the building, music and a chance to see and contribute to the church and village in a very personal way.

Please help us to keep the doors open for all by speaking to Valerie, Giles or Kam or by emailing editor@geddington.net
