The Parish Churches of
Compton, Hursley and Otterbourne
Three churches – where faith makes sense
We would love to welcome all into our churches across the benefice and to prepare a place that you and your family feel wanted, safe and, most importantly, found. Take a look at our monthly service listing and join us at one of our services on offer.
There is a change of time and venue for the August benefice service.
The service will now take place on 30th August at St. Matthew’s, Otterbourne at 11 am.
From September, we will be hosting a weekly bereavement cafe at All Saints’, Hursley. The cafe is open to everyone who has lost someone. It does not matter when they lost them, who it was or how it has impacted them.
We meet every Thursday at 10.30 am after midweek communion at All Saints’, Hursley.
Everyone will be most welcome. Do come along to join us.
We are looking for volunteers to join our team in helping with the Benefice Toddlers group that meets on Wednesdays at 10 am in St, Matthew’s Church Room, Otterbourne in school term time.
If you are interested in supporting us, please speak to Rev. Patrick, Kristin at Hursley or email our benefice administrator, Dawn: administrator@chobenefice.co.uk
We are introducing a new way to engage with faith and the environment. An all age service designed for worship in the wild.
Our services will usually be set for the second Sunday of the month at Hursley, starting at 4 pm.
Our first outdoor service will be held on 13th September and will be entitled ‘ The fading light: the Autumn equinox.
The schedule for the following months are:
11th October: Eyes in the dark; bat hunting
8th November: From the rising of the sun to it’s setting. This will be a sunset remembrance service held on Shawford Down.
Come along to explore this new way of worship with us and why not bring your family or friends?
Our Storyshop continues through the summer. The next time we meet will be on Sunday 30th August at 4pm. As usual, we will meet in All Saints’, Compton.
