The East Downland Benefice includes nine churches in the Downland north of Newbury, which are part of the Newbury Deanery in the Church of England Diocese of Oxford.
Confirmation The Newbury Deanery confirmation service will take place on Wednesday 23rd May at 7.30pm at St Mary's Church, Chieveley. In confirmation we confirm the promises made at our baptism. That baptism may have taken place when we were babies, it may take place within the confirmation service, but at our confirmation we take responsibility for our own walk with God within the church. Confirmation is open to adults and older children, so if you or someone you know wish to explore confirmation, please speak to John or Denise.
Our Mission Prayer God of new beginnings, we pray that you will transform your church as you renew us by your love. Give us vision for the journey that we may travel light and live increasingly by faith. Inspire, enliven and empower us, so that along the Way we may be sustained by the life of Christ in ourselves, in one another and in the world. Amen.
