A warm and friendly welcome awaits you at services in St. Mary Magdalene, Crowmarsh Gifford, a beautiful Norman village church in the Wallingford Team.
Sunday services are at 11am with Evening Prayer (BCP) at 4pm (winter) / 6pm (BST). We also hold a Morning Prayer (CW) every Friday at 9am. The church is open during daylight hours.
The Parish Communion is celebrated at 11am every Sunday except for the first Sunday of the month, when we have a simpler Family Service without communion. Periodically a Team Communion is celebrated in one or other of the three parishes in the benefice. See the church noticeboard or the calendar of events on our website for more information.
Please note that we have no toilet or baby changing facilities available, but we hope to begin a major project to rectify this after the pandemic.
