Despite the weather, we had a lovely day out at Hinton Ampner yesterday, enjoying the wonderful Christmas decorations and having fun trying to solve the murder mystery! Thank you, Carol, for organising the day.
Christmas Festive Fun at Hinton Ampner
Welcoming Jack and Sophia
Today we welcomed brother and sister Jack and Sophia Lawton for their baptism service. It was wonderful to see the church full to overflowing with all their family and friends who had come along to support them.
Christmas Angels in Fleet
Christmas angels have descended on Fleet once more! Some of us were out early this morning to place our knitted angels around Fleet town centre for early morning shoppers and shop workers to find. They each bear a simple Christmas message: ‘Love is the greatest thing’, ‘Peace on Earth’, ‘There is hope’. We hope they […]
Craft Fair 2018 – Photos
Here is a selection of photos from our 2018 Autumn Craft Fair, which was held last Saturday. The event was a great success, and we welcomed many new crafters along with some familiar faces from previous years. There was a wide variety of original and exciting gifts for sale, and it was a great opportunity […]
Footsteps Lead the Way
Our morning worship today was conducted entirely by our young people’s group, Footsteps. What an inspiring service it was!

Inspired by colourful Latin American […]
Harvest Decorations
Our church was full to overflowing for our Harvest Thanksgiving this year! Our Rainbows and Brownies groups had decorated the church with colourful autumn collages and bunting, and they contributed to the service with their poems and stories, beautifully read. Well done, Brownies and Rainbows!
Bring and Share Harvest Supper
The photos say it all – church family and friends enjoyed a wonderful evening of good fellowship and delicious food when we met together last Saturday evening for our annual ‘Bring and Share’ Harvest Supper.
General Assembly: A Viewpoint

He reflects here on the experience: From Friday 6th to Monday 9th July I attended the URC General Assembly in Nottingham. Unfortunately it was a very hot weekend indeed, which made it rather stuffy to sit in […]
Commitment for Life Appeal
Have you ever looked at a paperclip…raw material formed into a line, then bent into almost two loops, closing but not quite closed, sides touching, generally without overlapping, clipping papers together – those papers can instruct, encourage, entrust, develop and bring hope. People with one penny, one prayer, combined with other people, pennies and prayers, […]
Winchester Cathedral Flower Festival – Photos
This week a small group from Fleet URC visited the Winchester Cathedral Festival of Flowers. The exhibition, entitled ‘Illumination’, was inspired by the magnificent Winchester Bible, and the whole of the Cathedral was filled with a spectacular array of stunning flower arrangements. Of particular interest was one entitled ‘Seasons’, which had been arranged by Fleet […]
