What’s On

In Church

Appeal from Knit ‘n’ Natter for Ukraine

There is an urgent appeal for hand knitted items for men and women to be donated to our local Knit ‘n’ Natter group. If you are able to give any help, donate or for more information, please contact either Gill in Otterbourne or Dawn, our Administrator. Many thanks

Confirmations

Are you interested in taking the next steps? Perhaps confirmation is the right step for you. We are hosting a confirmation service at Hursley church on Sunday 17th May 2026. If you feel that this is something you would like to find out more about, speak to Patrick or one of our churchwardens.

Jigsaw and Boardgame festival

We are looking for donations of board games and jigsaw puzzles for our festival to be held on 14th February at St. Matthew’s, Otterbourne. Please place any donations on the pew closest to the South door in the church. Thank you.

Ashings

All Saints’ Church, Compton, will hold a traditional BCP Communion service with the Imposition of Ashes at 11 am on Wednesday 18th February. This will be followed by a soup lunch at 12 noon and a showing of the film ‘The Way’. This reflective and moving film will also form part of our Lent Lunches at Otterbourne, held every Tuesday throughout Lent from 12-1 pm. Ashings will also take place at All Saints’ church, Hursley at 6 pm on 18th February to mark the beginning of Lent.

Christingle for Candlemas

We will hold a Christingle at St. Matthew’s, Otterbourne on 1st February at 6 pm for Candlemas. Come and let the light shine!

Our churches

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.
