St. Margaret’s Church, Hempnall belongs to us ALL, to everyone who lives in this parish.  It is ours for important events in our lives, baptisms and weddings and funerals; it is ours for Sunday services, for celebrations at special times like Mothering Sunday, Remembrance, Harvest, Christmas and Easter. It is ours for hosting exhibitions, concerts and community meetings and welcoming pupils from the school.

If you value  this and would like to support it there are many ways to choose from:

Give of your time and talent by joining one of the rotas of volunteers:

• The Flower Rota members provide beautiful decoration throughout the year.
• Church cleaners take turns in ensuring that the church is fresh and welcoming.
• Coffee makers offer much appreciated refreshment after services.

Or, you may prefer to give a contribution of money to help pay for the costs of maintaining this beautiful building and ensuring that we continue to have wonderful clergy to support us all. You can do this by:

• Bringing your offering to the church between 10.00am and 2.00pm on Saturday 18^th July
• Or leaving the money or cheque in the office at The Rectory, The Street, Hempnall NR15 2AD
