Harvest in Ayot St Lawrence 2015

We have quite a late Harvest celebration compared with many churches. In 2015 we would be delighted to welcome you to our service on 11 October at 11.30am; if you have produce or items that we can use to decorate the church, please bring them along on the preceding Saturday 10th in the morning; better still, join us for some creating in the afternoon!

WE have our Harvest Super in the church at 7.00pm on 11 October. This is a "bring'n'share" affair, and you would be most welcome. Contact us  mailto:church@ayotstlawrence.com if you'd like to come along: we ask that as well as your food you bring something to eat it with, wine or soft drink - and a contribution of £10 per head which goes to the Bishop's Harvest Appeal, which this year is being used to construct additional classrooms and dormitories for children with disabilities in rural Uganda.

Our regular Church Services

​We are part of the Church of England and hold services once a month on the second Sunday each month, starting at 11.30am - except during June when the Art Show is on. Visit this site to see our arrangements for that period or visit achurchnearyou.co.uk  which is the general Anglican church website and has more specific information about our style of service, which has usually been BCP.   (You will need to enter "Ayot St Lawrence" in the details box on this webpage). We only have one active church, called  (surprise) St Lawrence, but beware! On occasions we also hold services in the ruined church, notably our Patronal Festival, typically on the second Sunday in August and our Pet Service, typically at the end of August or the first Sunday (afternoon) or September. Both services are weather dependent: if rain threatens, we go to the church with a roof! Below is a picture of the Pet Service in the ruined church; note the religiosity of the dogs and the man asking for cat reinforcements on the phone to make things even more lively; there were horses lurking too! Our vicar was unwisely bending down to bless a dog.....
