The latest church and benefice news.
For anyone wishing to view the details of Inkpen's graveyards, including burial details, grave stone inscriptions and the location of the graves, please click here. Inkpen Burial, Marriage, Baptism and Birth records covering the period 1607 to 1837 can be found on the Inkpen history website, here.
The main Service this month is our Harvest Festival which is at
9.45 on the 20th. It will be led by Revd. Patrick Whitworth and as
always, the Church will be beautifully decorated. So, if you have
flowers or produce that you would like to give in advance, bring
them to the Church on Saturday morning. But if you are coming to
the Service, bring your gifts with you when during it the children
will take gifts of produce to the altar. After the service is over
these are taken to one of the Newbury or Hungerford Food Banks
where the need is great.
You will see from the list of Services that the sequence has
changed. Compline on the 6th is now on the first Sunday of the
month at 6pm and the 8.30 Holy Communion Service with the Book of
Common Prayer is on the fourth which this month is the 27th. As
always, the Church is open seven days a week within the hours 9.30
and 4pm. It is a fine building with an eternal purpose for your
use whenever.
