The Church of Our Lady Saint Mary South Creake

Visitors to this website, just like our real visitors, come for many different reasons and with differing levels of knowledge about the Christian faith, about church buildings and church history. We have tried to design the site so, whoever you are and whatever your needs, you will find the information you want.

We have therefore quite deliberately built the site with two starting points. If you know your Common Worship from your Book of Common Prayer, your Clerestory from your Chancel and your Anglo-Catholic from your Evangelical, go to About us.

And if that sounds like gobbledygook but you want to know more about our beautiful church and why we love it, go to Visitors.

We also have a FAQs page where we answer, or attempt to answer, some of the more commonly asked questions about our Church and our Christian faith.

But if none of those are right for you, maybe we are being too clever so just dive right in.

Our second e-mail Newsletter went out on 7 December 2009.  Click here to have a look or on the link below if you want to downlod a copy.

If you would like to receive future copies (we intend to send then out roughly on a quarterly basis) either send an e-mail to the Webmaster or subscribe using the form at the bottom of the General Link column on the left.

The main aim of the newsletter is to keep in touch with those friends and supporters who are most of the time physically far away but who either come to the village from time to time or take an interest in what we are doing.

A History of a Church in a Village written by Fr Roger Arguile was further revised and expanded in May 2009.  An illustrated and referenced version can be purchased from us for £3.50 (including UK postage).  Send your name and full address by e-mail to treasurer@southcreake.org.  To make your payment use our PayPal payment facility or alternatively send a cheque made payable to South Creake PCC General Fund to the PCC Treasurer at the address shown here.

A new section, Reading the Bible on Sundays, has been added to What happens in Church

Thought for the Week continues to be posted regularly each Sunday or Monday and Archive sections are available for 2008 and 2009. Why not take a look?

Photographs have been added to Weddings and a Picture Gallery created with larger versions of some the pictures used on the site.

The Christian Year section has new pages on Advent, Epiphany, and Candlemass and the Sundays before Lent.

For the very keen the minutes of all the 2008 PCC Meetings are now available to read and enjoy along with those for 2007 and the 2007 Financial Report.
