St Mary's, Bentley
Holy Cross, Binsted
A thriving community of faith across three churches.
We have all given up so much this year so why not join us though Lent in taking up being thankful. Here's Gemma to explain more about what we're doing throughout Lent, including Thankfulness Jars and daily Lockdown Lent videos.
You can view the Lockdown Lent playlist HERE.
You may have seen that we're following the Prayer Course 2 in our Sunday morning sermon series.
But if you want to dig a little deeper, why not try the course for yourself?
Or better still, join one of our home groups throughout Lent to explore unanswered prayer with others.
Live@5 is back!
If you've never been to a Live@5 before, it's our more relaxed and informal time of worship, prayer and learning from the Bible. And at the moment from the comfort of your own home!
Join us from 4:30pm on Zoom, bring your own tea and cake, cheese and biscuits, or whatever takes your fancy, for a chat. Then on YouTube from 5pm for our Live@5 service.
Join us for our monthly online Messy Church gatherings, now at the new time of 4:30pm!
We'll be crafting, singing and learning from the Bible together in the comfort and safety of our own homes. Don't panic, we'll make sure you know what materials you need in advance and afterwards we will be posting a summary video with the craft and story to go alongside each service on YouTube in case you miss out.
We would love for you to join us for our Monday morning Benefice prayer meeting on Zoom.
We follow a simple pattern of liturgy, reading Scripture, discussion and prayer to set us up for the week ahead.

We will be restarting Binsted Parish Zoom Prayers from Wednesday 3rd February from 9:30 - 10:30am. Our next few meetings are:
