Service as usual:  The Whitewater Benefice is currently in vacancy. We are delighted to confirm that we will be formally welcoming our new Rector, Reverend Dominic Thornton on Tuesday 4th August.  Our prayers are with Dominic and his family as they prepare for their move to Hook.

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.

The churches of Heckfield, Mattingley and Rotherwick are served by our Associate Priest, Rev Helen Sherlock. Hook is welcoming visiting priests for communion services and our own Licensed Lay Ministers are leading the All Age and Contemporary Morning Worship services.

We have a small garden team who meet at St John's, Hook on a Wendesday morning from around 10:30 for a couple of hours, to look after the grounds.  If you would like to join us, please drop by and talk to one of the team.  We are also happy for people to drop by and have a chat and a coffee with us, and talk about our plans, and how to garden to encourage biodiversity.
