We welcomed Reverend Dominic Thornton as the new Rector of the Whitewater Benefice (responsible for the Parish of Hook and the Parish of Heckfield, Mattingley & Rotherwick) on Tuesday 4th August, there are some photos of what was a very joyful and smiley evening here.  Our prayers are with Dominic and his family.

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.  

In the Benefice, there is a weekly service at 8.30am, usually Holy Communion, which moves around the 4 churches.

Our banner for August is a verse from Dominic's licensing service on 4th August, and the sunflowers are from the Rotherwick Patch.  Sunflowers grow towards the sun, and the sun makes them thrive - and if we grow towards Christ, we too will grow and flourish and bear fruit!

Our holiday club took place on 25^th and 26^th of August - 2 days of fun activities, a big thank you to our large team of volunteers led by Jonathan, Hook Tesco for providing snacks & drinks, and to all the children who came along and took part in the fun. There are some photos of Holiday Club here. If you missed this holiday club or want to join us again, come along to Messy Church on Friday 18^th September after school.
