WELCOME

Wye Church is open daily for private prayer. Please observe the social distancing rules, wear a face mask, sanitise and sign in the visitors book in the porch when you visit.

Please note the following change to our services:

As the 10.30 am service at Wye on Sunday 30th is no longer to be for the whole Benefice, an Up the Hill group communion will take place at St Bartholomew’s Waltham at 9.30 am that day.

The schedule of services for June is listed below. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays there will be Virtual Church via Facebook. You are very welcome to join us. To attend this simply join via the Wye Benefice Virtual Church Group on Facebook.

Please check back here for updates or check with wardens for the individual churches for the most up-to-date information.
