- St Agatha’s in Llanymynech more…
- St Philip and St James’ in Morton more…
- All Saints’ in Trefonen more…

Events in the Benefice

Oswestry Food Bank have issued a special appeal for families and individuals who use their services to enjoy some festive treats this Christmas too. If you can and are able to help please put any items in the boxes at the back of each of the churches by no later than 4th December to be ready for Christmas. Please here to see the list of items that are needed.

Thank you for your generosity

On 25th July 25 parishioners went with Rev Kathy to Christ Church, Bala. For more information and some photographs, click here.

The Community Cafe in Trefonen is open every Tuesday morning more…

About us

The Benefice, part of the Diocese of Litchfield, works together in several ways:

- On the 5^th Sunday of a month there is only one service, for all to come together to worship. It is hosted by each parish in turn.
- The churchwardens meet regularly, with the Rector, to discuss and agree as appropriate common approaches, the sharing of resources and calendar details.
- Before the pandemic the four parochial church councils met together twice each year.
- The identity of the Benefice is promoted through its Facebook page and the Sunday pew sheet.
- The Benefice and parish treasurers work on items of shared expenditure.

There are shared events, often linked to the season, such as the summer evening’s prayer and praise. These will be virtual experiences this year, through a Zoom link. They will include one of our lay worship leaders leading us in a reflection on a Bible passage and prayer, as well as conversation – while we each drink the coffee or eat the lunch we have brought! The Zoom links will be posted nearer the day.
