Welcome to the Whitewater Benefice

Sunday Services

In Hook, we have two services every week, our main service is at 10am - All Age Worship (1st Sunday), Sung Eucharist (2nd Sunday), Contemporary Morning Worship (3rd Sunday) or Holy Communion (4th/5th Sundays).  There is Junior Church (2nd-5th Sundays) for our young people.  Our evening service at 6pm is Holy Communion on the 3rd Sunday and Evening Worship other weeks.

In HMR, we meet every week at 11am in Rotherwick for a variety of forms of worship.  We also have a service of Matins at 11am on the third Sunday each month in Mattingley, and 6.30pm Rotherwick Evensong on the second Sunday.  

We also have weekly service at 8.30am, usually Holy Communion, which moves around the 4 churches in the benefice.

Notices

Bumps & Babes meets at St John's on Wednesday mornings.  This is for pregnant mums and for those with babies. Parents can meet other parents/carers with babies of a similar age, and the babies can access a range of sensory toys and socialise with others. Generally, children leave bumps & babes when they start pre-school.  Its drop-in, so you can come by and say hello.  All Welcome.  

Sometimes people come into our lives for a short time, but make a big impact. And that is how we felt about Helen, who we said goodbye to last weekend. We hope she felt the love and gratitude for all that she has done for HMR. We send her our love and prayers as she moves on.  Our pattern of services in HMR will continue as they were.  On Sunday 4th of October there is a service of Holy Communion led by David Wilbraham with Jason Drury preaching.

As we come close to the end of the Season of Creationtide and Harvest, we reflect on and give thanks to God for all the beauty and fruitfulness of creation.  We reflect on the impact that mankind is having, and think about what we can do to take better care of God's creation.  At St John's we are trying to do our bit in the church grounds, to be wilder and to leave space for pollinators, for birds, small animal corridors with room for hedgehogs and beetles etc.  The garden team meet most Wednesday mornings at St John's and anyone is welcome to join us from around 10am.  On 17th October we will be having a garden maintenance day from 10am to 1pm, we would like your help - we are planning to prepare the church grounds at St John's for the Autumn, by raking up leaves, pruning, weeding etc.  Please bring your own tools & gardening gloves.

Please visit our Calendar or read our weekly notices, for details of all the services and up coming events.
