Welcome to St Mary's Rickinghall

We hold a range of services throughout the month, including traditional Holy Communion and more informal worship. Current regular services at St Mary's include:

• First Sunday of the month – Holy Communion at 8:45am
• Third Sunday of the month – Holy Communion at 10:30am
• Second Wednesday of the month – Midweek Holy Communion at 10:30am

We also have an Open House on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am – a relaxed time for coffee, chat and prayer.

For the most up-to-date service times, special services (such as at Christmas and Easter), or details of united benefice services, please check our calendar or contact Revd Helen Grover.

We are delighted to celebrate baptisms, weddings, and other life events here at St Mary's.

• For a baptism, please contact Revd Helen Grover to arrange a conversation and booking. We usually hold baptisms during or after a regular Sunday service so the whole church family can welcome the new Christian.
• For a wedding, we recommend getting in touch as early as possible. You don’t need to be a regular churchgoer, but we do ask couples to have a genuine connection with the church or the parish. Revd Helen will be happy to talk through the details with you.

Please email or call the Rectory on 01379 830003 or use the contact form to start the process..

Absolutely – everyone is welcome! Whether you’re a regular, visiting the area, exploring faith for the first time, or just want a peaceful place to sit and reflect, you’ll be warmly received.

There’s no strict dress code – come as you are (smart casual is most common). Children and families are very welcome; we love the noise and energy they bring!

Services usually last around 45–60 minutes. You’ll be guided through everything, and no one will be put on the spot. After the service, many people stay for a chat and refreshments. If you have young children who might find it hard to sit still, that’s completely fine – we understand!

If you have any particular needs (accessibility, hearing loop, etc.) or questions before you visit, just get in touch.
