HOCKWORTHY' S UKRAINIAN-THEMED CAROL SERVICE 2022
HOCKWORTHY' S UKRAINIAN-THEMED CAROL SERVICE 2022
This year the tree at Hockworthy was decorated with homemade lanterns in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. A Ukrainian family joined them at the Carol Service and gave a very moving talk about Christmas in their country.
About usHockworthy is a tranquil rural village and the parish includes the hamlets of Staple Cross and Waterslade. It covers a large area but with a population of only 174. Hockworthy is a very vibrant, active and sociable community with a strong sense of its own identity, the local pub at Staple Cross being a hub for the village. The village hall, which was originally the school, has close connections with the church and hosts frequent musical, church and other events. The ChurchAll are warmly welcomed into the church which has a traditional but slightly quirky mix - we love traditional services and hymns but are more than happy to have a service in a cowshed before the Dog Show. The church is strongly supported by at least 15 families in the parish who are actively involved in various church-related activities.
