Latest News
PARKING IN HILPERTON

AIR AMBULANCE CHAPLAIN
Rev John Rees, The Canalside Rector is now also chaplain to Wiltshire Air Ambulance, which is based in Semington.

In Hilperton School on Saturday 29th September from 11.00am - 1.00pm. Please register if you want to come so we have enough food for everyone. Details can be found at Messy Church
A FESTIVAL CHOIR
A Festival Choir is now rehearsing on Monday evenings in St Mary Magdalen's Church in Horse Road. Initially the plan is for the choir to sing at our Harvest and Christmas Services but it would be great if we could continue beyond that, maybe on a monthly basis. Singers of all abilities welcome so come on why not give it a go. To find out more please contact Mary Tapping 07453285898 marytapping@hotmail.com
