Welcome to the Cleobury Mortimer Benefice. We are a group of seven parishes in rural south-east Shropshire, which comprise the churches of St Mary the Virgin Cleobury Mortimer, St Michael, Hopton Wafers, All Saints Neen Sollars, St George Milson, St John the Baptist Kinlet, St Mary Neen Savage and St John the Baptist Doddington.

With the ending of the second lockdown on 2 December, Sunday services will again be held in our churches from Sunday 8 December. Weekday services for the Benefice will continue on Zoom. Details of all services will be found on the services page. Details of servies at each church will be found on the page for that church via the churches page.

Bishop Richard visited St Mary's on Saturday 12 September as part of his Diocesan Pilgrimage. A recording can be seen here.

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

The floodlights have been shining on the church every evening since the beginning of the lockdown and from this weekend, when the Christmas lights are put up in the town, there will be a beautiful depiction of the nativity scene displayed outside the church not only to add to the decorations but as a statement of what Christmas is truly about – Jesus Christ being born into the world: the real and true light and hope in our darkness.

This has been made possible through the enthusiasm, skill and generosity of The Men’s Shed who have completed this project with love and dedication. This is truly an example of a community working and caring for each other.

Please take a little time in this approach to Christmas to stand and appreciate not just the skill and workmanship but also the message and significance of this very special time of year.

Liz Smith, Churchwarden
