All Saints’ Church, Trefonen
Some three miles from Oswestry the compact village of Trefonen enjoys a reputation of being active and community spirited. Our church enjoys a prominent position as you enter the village and is known for the warmth of the welcome it extends to everyone. Our services are characterised by the participation of members of the congregation, who are active in church and village events and projects.
As the days shorten and the harvest is upon us, we will be celebrating Harvest Festival in Trefonen over the weekend of 28th and 29th September, for more details click here, as part of the celebrations we will be holding a Harvest Lunch on Sunday 29th September in the Trefonen Village Hall for more information click here.
The Community Cafe in Trefonen Village Hall is open on Tuesdays from 9.45am-11.30pm (from 10am during school holidays).

Drop in for a cuppa and cake, meet up with friends.
We have three house groups, which have been running virtually in various ways. We may review how we operate in the next few months.
The Byway Group: has moved to meeting once a month. The Group usually get together on a Wednesday afternoon. For information contact Joan Parry and Jill Ferguson: jillandjoan@btinternet.com
Fallow Fields Fellowship: We meet the second and fourth Monday of the month, at 7.30 pm. No prior knowledge or expertise needed. Our group is led by K of the Kimber household and we meet at Fallow Fields, Rectory Close.. Contact: k.kimber@borderparishes.org.uk
The Oaks Home group: We are an informal group of Christians coming from diverse backgrounds, seeking to grow in our understanding of and relationship with God, to support and care for one another, and to live out our faith amongst the people around us. Our learning centres mainly around exploring the Bible together. We normally meet every second and fourth Thursday evening of the month and you would be very welcome to join us. Contact Chris Kirk, our group leader, at kirk.garden@btopenworld.com for further details.
If you would like to join a house group, or are considering starting your own, please contact one of the group leaders.
