ALL SAINTS, LONG MARSTON

All Saints is a small village church with an open churchyard, a wonderful interior and an historic organ. Long Marston itself is a village of about 250 houses with a pub and a shop cum pub and post office. A lot of the residents commute but there is still a surprising number who work locally and a large number of families and retired folk. We are managing to buck the trend in that we have a growing congregation, albeit from a starting point of 10, and a thriving Sunday Club as a result. We have just started two new services: a toddler service on Monday afternoon every fortnight which is very well supported and an Iona evening prayer every Sunday at 630. The main act of worship is at 10 o’clock on Sunday, the Communion service every fourth Sunday has been receiving special efforts with sung Eucharist and the Sunday Club in attendance. This is proving popular with a big increase in attendance. The congregation has a small number of elderlyregulars that have kept the place alive and a large growing number of families who attend at least once a month.
