FAQs and Key Information
We hold a number of services across the parish:
We have a Communion service at St Peter and St Paul Great Missenden at 10am every Sunday. We also hold services at 8am and 6pm each Sunday.
Services at Ballinger are generally at 9.30am on the first Sunday of every month, and services at Little Hampden on the second and fourth Sundays at 11:30am with coffee at 11am.
Details of all our services can be found on our Services page.
You will be welcomed by the sidespeople who will give you the books you’ll need. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have. There are no set seats, so please sit wherever you feel most comfortable.
The service lasts for one hour and follows the order set out in the booklet.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the 10am service, where there is plenty of time to meet people and ask any questions you may have.
We have two Junior Church groups that meet regularly. Head to our Children & Young People page to find out everything you need to know.
We also have an unsupervised crêche area within the Church and your children are welcome to play during the service.
Children may stay with their parents at the start of the service, or sit with their friends as we begin our worship. Junior Church usually leaves our main service after we have started our worship with some singing.
No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.
It is completely up to you. God's table is open to all. You are welcome to come up for a blessing, or bring your children up for a blessing. Alternatively you can stay in your seat.
No, donating is entirely optional. We have a time of offering during each service when a plate is passed around for cash or contactless card donations. There is always a contactless card reader and cash box near the door to the church, or you can
donate online. You’re very welcome in church whether you make a donation or not.
