St Mary's, Bentley
Holy Cross, Binsted
A thriving community of faith across three churches.
All of our services are family friendly, with books and toys for our children to play with if they want to. The services indicated with a flower have more formal children's provision, either a children's corner with activities or dedicated children's church sessions. You can be sure of a warm welcome at BenBinFro, no matter your age! And we don't mind noise either, bring the whole family, because we are one big church family after all.
Binsted 8am Holy Communion will be restarting as of the 8th March :)
CORRECTION - The services in the parish magazine for March contain a slight error. On 22nd March, there will ONLY be a 6:30pm Sung Holy Communion at Froyle, this is because of the Benefice Weekend Away taking place at the same time.
We had the best time at the Real Nativity in Froyle just before Christmas. Here are a selection of photos from the night. (Photo credit - Andrea Kozak).
The February parish magazines will have a more detailed write up, but follow this link to see more photos.

See you at our Praise services in Bentley and Kingsley!
These are slightly different from each other, but full of praise, worship and prayer nonetheless.
At Bentley you can expected extended times of sung worship, excellent Bible and discipleship teaching and lots of time to pray or receive prayer.
At Kingsley we'll be focussed on contemporary worship and prayer for the village - a new venture for Kingsley that we're really excited about.
Let's see where God leads us!
Benefice prayers have changed day - we're now meeting on the second TUESDAY of the month.
Tuesday prayer for the nation continues on the rest of the Tuesdays in the month at 9:30am at Binsted church.
Join us to pray.
