ST MARY THE VIRGIN CHURCH P.C.C.
The Parochial Church Council works with the The Rev Adrian Mason, rector of South Hartismere Benefice, who is assisted by a curate - The Revd Christoper ('Tiffer') Robinson, to promote within the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The P.C.C. also has maintenance responsibilities for the church building and church grounds.
Church services are held as follows:
Family Communion at 10.30am on the first Sunday of the month. A service far all ages using an easy to follow service sheet.
Songs of Praise at 6pm on the second Sunday of the month - an informal service when we sing hymns chosen, in advance, by the congregation.
Holy Communion, a traditional service, on the third Sunday of the month at 08.30
Cafe Church at 10.15am on the third Sunday of the month in Gislingham Village Hall. A service that appeals especially to younger children.
Full details of all services in the South Hartismere Benefice can be found at: www.southhartismere.org.uk/month
