Our Community

The parish is very much part of the local communities of Freshford, Limpley Stoke and Hinton Charterhouse.

Not only are we present in each village with the three churches but many of our members play active roles within each community. We are very keen to maintain this connection and to increase our involvement locally. At Freshford and Limpley Stoke Fete, the church is responsible for the tea and cake stall.

In the village of Freshford there is Freshford Church School. The main Christian festivals are marked by the school at St Peter’s Church, Freshford. Volunteers attend school assemblies and three church members are also foundation governors.

There are two Parent and Toddler groups, run by church members, which meet in the Old Bakery, Freshford, on Thursday mornings 10am-11.45am, and at the Memorial Hall, Hinton Charterhouse, on Friday mornings 10.30am-12noon.

There is a Tea, Cake and Chat afternoon on Wednesdays in the Old Bakery from 2.30pm to which all are welcome.

Morning prayer takes place on Wednesday mornings at 8.30am in the Old Bakery, Freshford. Please join us as we pray for the parish.
Monday Zoom sessions: If you don't get out much and feel like a chat, a small group of us Zoom together for 45 minutes on a Monday morning. To give it a try, please contact Penny Jones on jonespennyg@gmail.com.

Café Church takes place at St Peter's Church, Freshford, at 10.30am on any fifth Sunday in a month. All are welcome for a light brunch along with conversation on a range of ethical real life topics.
