Both churches are old and beautiful. All Saints Church was built in the 14th century and St. Mark’s Church is Victorian having been built in the 19th century.
As old buildings, both churches require regular maintenance and this care is expensive. Each year we have to spend at least £25,000 just to keep these beautiful buildings open for all parishioners to enjoy. Including these operating costs, the full cost of the Anglican ministry in Binfield, as we seek to reach all ages of the community, is over £140,000.
We need your help to care for these beautiful buildings and ensure that they continue to keep the memories that they hold.
All Saints and St Mark’s churches are always here for you and your family, not only for baptisms, weddings and funerals but also for worship, prayer, quiet contemplation and social fellowship.
They are YOUR churches:
part of your historic village
part of your national heritage
at the heart of a worshipping congregation
With your help, they will remain so for many future generations.
To make a donation towards the maintenance and ministries of your churches, please either complete the standing order form in the Beacon and return to your Bank or send a cheque to Rev. B. Meyer at The Rectory, Terrace Road North, Binfield RG42 5JG payable to Binfield P.C.C.
PermalinkRemembrance Sunday | Posted by stadmin at 14:40 on 11 Nov 2007
The parish honours its war dead. This year Remembrance Sunday falls exactly 89 years after the ending of World War I, Armistice Day.PermalinkSome August Fun for all! | Posted by stadmin at 08:55 on 19 Jul 2007Idea to make 2 Sunday mornings in August a little more fun for everyone!
As you may be aware, Michael Hawkins (our organist) is off in Sweden in August which leaves 5th August & 12th August specifically 'uncovered' in terms of music.
So we would like as many people as possible, whether you are already in a 'group/band/choir' or not, to come along and sing and play for the Church in the sparse holiday period and have some fun whilst we do it. (No further obligation required!)
The key here is that everyone is welcome so if you are a bit bashful of your talent with your musical instrument, but wouldn't mind playing it with many others, or have a quiet voice which would just swell the sound of the singing then please listen very carefully to what you need to do!.....
1. Email me straight back telling me you are interested in being a part of this!
2. Tell me what you will bring to the party (voice, instrument etc)
3. Let me know which of the two service(s) you are around for.
4. Which evenings are best for you to practice on.
5. Come along to a big 'jam' session at St Marks one evening - date TBA
It's as simple as that - So then, .......what do you think?
Would you like to take part? We would love to have you along.
All ages and abilities welcome - young or old - dig those dusty instruments out - clear your throat, and let's get cracking......
Evening rehearsals starting from 8pm at St Marks - dates to be advised.
Please pass this on to as many people you know who you may think would like to be involved and whose email addresses I don't have.
Thanks - look forward to seeing you all!
