Within the Parish there are also two redundant Churches � All Saint's, Little Somborne and St.Mary's, Ashley which each hold two or three Services every year. The Parish Church's monthly AliVE service aims to offer a less formal, more flexible form of worship with modern music provided by local musicians on a Sunday evening. A Tiny Tots group meets each week for mothers and their youngest children and a
Funday School is run in collaboration with the Methodist Church . In addition the Church is supported by enthusiastic teams of singers, bell-ringers, needle workers and others and holds a number of regular Social and Fund-raising events. |

Details of all Services and events can be found in the Parish magazine
the Gauntlet which is managed by the Church and which is distributed freely to all homes in the community. Current details can also be found on the notice board in the Church porch.
For those more interested in the history and fabric of this beautiful Church, a detailed Guide is available.
