Here are the timings for services across Holy Week in the Sole bay Team. All are welcome and we look forward to you joining us.

Here are our Easter Day Service timings across the team. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you.

Due to a lack of available clergy cover on Tuesday evenings, with the agreement of the Churchwardens, we have decided that we will only be able to continue the evening Communion service at St Margaret’s on the first Tuesday of every month for the foreseeable future.  Thank you to those who continue to faithfully support this service.  A reminder that Communion services take place each week at St Andrew’s, Walberswick at 10am on Wednesdays and St Edmund’s, Southwold at 10am on Thursdays.

Darsham Village Hall IP17 3FA 4pm – 5:30pm Refreshments included. Donations Welcome

Organised by the Church of England here in St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, and run by experienced youth workers from around Suffolk, this is a weekend of craziness, worship, games and friendship all focused on learning more about living as a Christian in the 21st Century.  It is for any young people from school years 7-13. Whilst it is Christian in ethos and focus you don’t have to call yourself a Christian to be able to attend and have fun!  The Big Weekend is held at Sizewell Hall – a great Christian conference centre just down the coast from 6:00pm on 11th April to 4:00pm on 14th April.

Booking can be done by contacting emailing matt.levett@coesuffolk.org or calling 07736 941654.

The Dog Show has many categories and will start at 12 pm so please come early to register.
