Christmas Services at Godalming Minster Hambledon


Can you help? Godalming Minster is collecting goodies to make up gift hampers for local individuals and families, some of whom are supported by the Foodbank at Franklyn Road year round, and some who appreciate a little help at this time of year. We also receive requests via our local church schools (Busbridge Juniors and St Mark’s and All Saints) and The Cellar Camino Café too.
We aim to make the hampers a real treat and show of love and generosity to those who might not be able to enjoy the nicer things at Christmas. It is especially appreciated if the items are from the luxury range rather than value range.
Shopping List
To share the buying, we’ve divided the shopping list into smaller lists of 4-6 items. You can pick one up
from church, or download the pdf with all six .

Join us for a last summer Pimm’s at the annual village Hymns & Pimm’s service at St Peter’s Hambledon on Sunday 8th September at 6pm. Everyone welcome!
Don’t be surprised at how lifted you feel after a good sing together. The benefits for well-being, stress relief, breathing, mental clarity and building community are well documented. Hymns in particular have a unique power to touch our hearts and souls, connect with one another and convey truths and emotions beyond words. They contain some superb poetry and are (arguably) some of the greatest music ever written. So, submit your request for your favourite hymn on arrival and we’ll sing through as many as we can before the liquid refreshments are necessary! The service is free, with a collection on departure.
