What's On
We celebrate the saints to whom our church is dedicated (St Quiricus and St Julietta) in the middle of June with a church fayre on the Saturday, held on the village Hall field and a special service on the Sunday, which our sister church in Nailsea, Christ Church, joins us for.
We hold an annual festival during December at which all the organisations involved in the village provide a display, with a different theme each year. The church is open at weekends during December for visitors to come a view the displays.
Home Bible Study Group
We now have a new home bible study group which meets on alternate Thursdays, roughly in term time. The group will start again on 4th September at 2.30pm. You would be welcome to join us, more details are available through the church office.

* Gift service For our gift service this year we are not bringing toys and gifts. We will instead have a cash collection for the USPG Christmas Mother and Baby in Tanzania appeal. As St Quiricus & St Julietta is a church dedicated to mothers and children we have decided to adopt this appeal as our chosen charity for Christmas.
** Nine lessons and carols – please note the change of time to 4.00pm. This service will be followed by mulled wine and mince pies.
*** Quiet Christmas – a time of meditation and music for all those who find Christmas a difficult time.
**** The Christmas eve service of first communion will again be at 9.00pm.

The poppy net grew from an idea by a resident in 2018. We didn’t think for one moment that we would have such a fantastic response. Poppies of all shapes, sizes and hues, knitted and crocheted, flooded in: some a handful in an envelope, some in bags left on the doorstep; some made by individuals, some in village groups. We remember especially those made by elderly residents (some of them 90+ years) who were so pleased to be able to contribute. Whoever made them, each and every one was made with love and with gratitude to those who served their country. Every year since we have draped the net over our church porch and planted crosses to remember the 18 servicemen from the village who lost their lives in two world wars.
