What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
The Wriggle Valley Benefice is in the heart of beautiful Dorset, Diocese of Salisbury. It was formed in 2003 and consists of the Parishes of Batcombe, Chetnole, Hermitage, Hilfield (now combined with Yetminster), Leigh, Ryme Intrinseca and Yetminster.
Each Parish sets about its mission in its own unique and imaginative way, (you will find links to the Parishes on the site) and serves the whole community celebrating its joys and sorrows, assisting it to see what it has not seen and to imagine that which is yet to be experienced.
The Reverend Simon Brignall arrived in the Benefice in December 2009 with experience of world-wide mission after serving 8 years with the Diocese of Peru in South America and 12 years ministry in rural Oxfordshire. Arriving here with his own young family he is acutely aware of the need to provide resources for family and children's work and has developed close links with the local Church of England primary school.
The Mission of the Benefice is the one we share with the worldwide Anglican Communion:
Proclaim the good news of God in Jesus
Nurture, baptise and teach new believers
Care for those in need
Challenge the unjust structures of society
Strive to sustain the integrity of Creation.
This site will give you specific information about our beautiful, historic Churches, our places of worship. They are a wonderful heritage from the past, linking us to our history and roots; a source of inspiration for the present; and a privilege to hand on, enhanced and strengthened both spiritually and physically for future generations. The site also gives links to other organisations including the school and lists of current services.
We are a part of the Diocese of Salisbury and an instrument of Mission in the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Please come and join us. Jesus came that we might have life, life in all its fullness. Let us celebrate this life together
