Littlebourne Benefice

Littlebourne      Ickham    Wickhambreaux    Stodmarsh
  

Welcome to the website for the churches of Littlebourne, Ickham, Wickhambreaux and Stodmarsh.

We are a group of four churches close to Canterbury.  As Church of England parish churches for our villages we are there for everyone. Whoever you are, you'll find a warm welcome at our services and activities.   

Enquiries about baptisms, weddings or special services are always welcome, whether or not you already attend church. Home communions can be arranged upon request. 

A Confirmation course runs regularly - usually beginning in early summer. Participants can choose whether to proceed to confirmation or not - but are welcome to take part in the course.

Regular services are continuing, with visiting priests.

To the congregations of the Littlebourne and Canonry Benefices

Message from Archdeacon Jo

 Warm greetings.

Can I ask for the prayers of your Benefices, and Deanery, for the Reverend Chris Brewer, who while on holiday recently became unwell and as a result will now be on a period of extended sick leave.

As you know Chris is in ministry in the Canonry Benefice and was soon to take up the additional role of priest in charge of the Littlebourne Benefice.  A licensing date in late October had been scheduled.  This has been postponed.

I am working with your Area Dean, Lay Chair and Wardens, and on his return from holiday the Reverend David Moulden, to make plans for the next weeks to support the ministries of Wingham, Littlebourne, Ickham, Wickhambreaux and Stodmarsh.

Chris is very grateful for your prayers but has asked for the meantime that there are no visitors please.

I, and your Wardens, will keep you updated......
