St Mary's, Bentley
Holy Cross, Binsted
A thriving community of faith across three churches.
We want to hear from you!
We value our local relationships and want them to grow wider and deeper. To do this, we need to understand local needs, so we’ve created a short questionnaire about how you’d like to receive local church news and information.
Follow the link to complete the survey online:
Or complete a paper copy which will have been delivered with your parish magazine, or find one in your local church.
The survey opens on Sunday 30th August and closes on Wednesday 30th September.
Please share this survey with your local communities, as the more responses we receive, the better we can communicate and serve you in the future.
Thanks for your time!
Due to the summer holidays and village fetes, our service pattern over July and August takes a deviation from the norm. Please see our services below and note that there is no Oakhanger Holy Communion on 5th July and Froyle Evensong on 26th July has changed to Sung Holy Communion.
All of our services are family friendly, with books and toys for our children to play with if they want to. The services indicated with a flower have more formal children's provision, either a children's corner with activities or dedicated children's church sessions. You can be sure of a warm welcome at BenBinFro, no matter your age! And we don't mind noise either, bring the whole family, because we are one big church family after all.
Four:twelve, our youth group for year 4-6.
Fridays at Bentley Church Hall
5-6:30pm
Upagear, our youth group for year 7+.
Thursdays at Bentley Church Hall
6-7:30pm
Our Youth Groups have currently paused for the summer holidays! See you again in September :)
Benefice Messy Church
Messy Church is a wonderful afternoon of games, crafts, messy play, songs and stories for the whole family to get involved with. Messy Church is aimed at our younger children (0-12 - but older ones are so very welcome!) with lots of opportunity for parents and carers to meet others and worship together as a family.
The afternoon always finishes with supper for the whole family, yes grown ups included, so not only do you have a fun afternoon, but supper is sorted too.
And - it's free!
We are now in our summer break over July and August, but we would love to see you at any of our summer services and fetes and especially at Messy Church when we return on 20th Sept in Binsted.
If you would like to get involved in helping with Messy Church, please email: admin@benbinfro.org
See you at our Praise services in Bentley and Kingsley!
These are slightly different from each other, but full of praise, worship and prayer nonetheless.
At Bentley you can expected extended times of sung worship, excellent Bible and discipleship teaching and lots of time to pray or receive prayer.
At Kingsley we'll be focussed on contemporary worship and prayer for the village - a new venture for Kingsley that we're really excited about.
Let's see where God leads us!
Benefice prayers have changed day - we're now meeting on the second TUESDAY of the month.
Tuesday prayer for the nation continues on the rest of the Tuesdays in the month at 9:30am at Binsted church.
Join us to pray.
