Welcome to the website for the united benefice of Ashburnham with Penhurst. Here you will find information about our churches, and the events and activities which are part of our church and village life. Our desire is to know, love and to follow Jesus Christ in our homes, our church family and in the communities where we live and work.

Sunday Services

9.15 am at Penhurst (TN33 9QP)

11 am at Ashburnham (TN33 9NE)

 

At Ashburnham and Penhurst we aim to be churches that are accessible to everyone; to be a place where people feel welcome and can experience something of the love of God.

 

Gathering together is part of our regular rhythm as Christians. We come together to worship God each Sunday, to sing hymns and songs, pray, listen to God’s word, support and encourage each other, and to remember with bread and wine what Jesus has done for us.

 

At Penhurst we use the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), while at Ashburnham Common Worship (CW) is used primarily.   

These services reflect the traditional and contemporary breadth of liturgy in the Church of England and, with Ashburnham Chapel, seek to offer services which are welcoming, meaningful and accessible to all. 

 

All these services are open to everyone - see the DIARY for more details. 

Refreshments are served afterwards.
