You are warmly invited to join us for Hymns & Pimms on Sunday 14th June at 4pm in the Rectory garden.

This will be a relaxed and joyful afternoon for all ages as we gather together to sing some well-loved hymns in an informal garden setting. Alongside the music, there will be Pimms and other refreshments to enjoy, as well as plenty of opportunity to chat, relax, and spend time together as a community.

For children, there will be lawn games and space to play, helping to make the afternoon enjoyable for families as well as adults. Whether you love traditional hymns, enjoy meeting new people, or are simply looking for a peaceful summer afternoon, we would love to welcome you.

You do not need to be a regular member of the church to come along — friends, neighbours, and visitors are all very welcome.

We hope you can join us for an afternoon of music, fellowship, laughter, and summer hospitality in the Rectory garden.

Advanced notice of the date of our Garden Fete - Saturday 11th July, 2pm-4pm! Come along for all the usual fun and more!

This crucial fundraising event aims to raise over £3,000 to support St Guthlac’s mission of spreading love, growing in faith, and welcoming everyone to our beautiful church.

If you’ve experienced loss and would value a warm, supportive, understanding space, you're welcome to join us. There’s no pressure to talk — just come along to share, listen, or simply sit with others who understand.

Each month we meet to offer time for conversation and company, as well as a themed talk or guest speaker. We are always joined by legal professionals who can share informal advice. Topics include practical matters such as wills, probate, and estate administration, and visiting speakers will include hospice nurses, funeral directors and grief counsellor. The café is open to anyone, regardless of how recent or long ago your bereavement occurred.

The next meeting will take place on Thursday 2nd July.  You are welcome to join us.

This is an opportunity to spend time together, enjoy some activities, and reflect on how God has made each of us uniquely.

We’ll share food, laughter, and a short time of worship, as we discover more about our different strengths in fun and engaging ways, helping us grow as individuals and as a community.

All ages are welcome.  Activities will be at different paces, so there’s something for everyone, including games for children.

Hot drinks and cake will be provided.  Please bring your own lunch.  There will be a dining room indoors and picnic blankets outdoors, depending on your preference.

We really hope you can join us for this engaging and enjoyable day together!
