Village Millennium Service

This Millennium year is an important one for the world-wide church as a celebration of 2000 years since the birth of Jesus. As part of the Hurst Village Millennium celebrations there will be a special Village Millennium Service on St. Nicholas' Day - Wednesday 6 December - at St. Nicholas' Church.

A candle-lit procession (starting at 6.30pm) from the Village Halls to the Church will precede the service, which starts at 7.00pm. Everyone is invited to this service which will be a celebration of village life and activities, and the faith of many of the people who live here, focusing on our Patron Saint.

The service will include contributions from the children of St. Nicholas School and the Twyford Choir. Hot mince pies and mulled wine will be available after the service. Other significant services at St. Nicholas' Church include: Harvest Festival, 24 September at 11.00am. Remembrance Sunday, 12 November at 10.45am.

Further information about the services at St. Nicholas and St. Mary's Winnersh can be found on notice boards outside the churches, in the window of the Village Shop, and in Focus - the monthly parish magazine available from the churches and the Village Shop.
