Church at the Heart of the Community
Welcome to the Parish of Wargrave with Knowl Hill
Our New Vicar!
We are pleased to announce that David Chislett is to become our new vicar. David has been serving his curacy over the last few years at Warfield Church and has been leading the St Michael’s congregation during a vacancy over the last twelve months. David will be joining us later in the year and we are so grateful for all the prayers that have supported our parish during this time of discernment. We give thanks to God for His guidance and wisdom throughout the process. Please continue to hold David and our church family in prayer as we step into this new chapter.

VE Day Service
Join us at St Mary's as we come together to commemorate VE Day with a special service of remembrance and gratitude, in collaboration with the Royal British Legion. This is a time to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom and to reflect on the lasting peace their efforts secured. Whether you have a personal connection to this historic day or simply wish to pay your respects, all are welcome to share in prayer, reflection, and community. We look forward to welcoming you.

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) is a chance for everyone in the Parish to hear about the life of the church over the past year, review finances, and elect representatives to the PCC. It’s an important moment to reflect, give thanks, and look ahead together. Join us on Sunday 18th May after the 9.45am short service.
Ascension Day celebrates the risen Christ returning to his Father in heaven, 40 days after Easter. It’s a significant moment in the Church calendar, reminding us of Jesus’ promise to be with us always and the hope we have in him. To mark this special day, all are warmly invited to a Holy Communion service at St Mary’s on Thursday 29th May at 11am. Join us as we reflect, give thanks, and worship together.
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension Day and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus. It’s a time of united and heartfelt prayer, both individually and as a church community. Whether through quiet reflection, daily devotions, or gathering with others, everyone is encouraged to take part in whatever way they can. Together, we pray: “Come, Holy Spirit.”
On Saturday 28th June, a special trip is being arranged for music lovers to enjoy an afternoon of tea, sandwiches and cakes at St Mary's Church Centre at 4.30pm before departing for the Anvil, Basingstoke to hear Brahms': 'A German Requiem' with the Royal Choral Society and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
