A message from our Rector,
the Reverend Lindsay Yates
I am committed to reopening our churches and continuing with live worship as and when it is safe to do so. North Marden church is now open for private prayer by appointment only. Please contact Patrick Balfour on 01243 535347 to arrange a visit. Our Sunday services will continue at Stoughton during August, but we are proposing to re-open St Mary’s Compton for midweek services during August and then for Sunday worship in September. Please see the "Coming to Church Safely" video below for details of what to expect in our churches.
The situation is so fast moving that the details in the August Parish Magazine might, regrettably, end up having to be changed – so please keep an eye on this website, the Facebook Group and the email bulletin. Please also be aware that we need to know in advance if you would like to attend a service by either email or telephone. There will be an email link in our weekly bulletin but please phone the Vicarage to let me know if you can’t operate the link.

As we have been unable to hold services in our churches during the epidemic, the parish has lost money usually donated via the collection plate; but our costs remain virtually as they were. If you are able to contribute even a small amount towards the continuing upkeep of our buildings and the ministry provided to the community through them please do so by pressing this button.
