Parish Council News
The Greening Campaign
With the growing emphasis and need to encourage a ‘green’
attitude, the Council
remains very keen to encourage development of the Greening
Campaign in the
Bishopstoke community and to this end fully supports the meeting
to be held on
Sunday 16 November at 1.30pm for a 2.00pm start at The Methodist
Church
Hall, Sedgwick Road, Bishopstoke. The meeting is open to
everyone to discuss
their ideas on ways of helping and Councillors hope that members
of the
community will take this opportunity to come and lend their
support to one of the
most pressing needs of modern times.

Church News
The Church of England in
Bishopstoke
In Bishopstoke, there are two Church of England buildings, but
we think of ourselves as one Christian family – because we are!
St Mary’s is on Church Road in Old Bishopstoke,
and the main service is normally at 11 am on a Sunday.
St Paul’s is on Old Fair Oak Road (opposite The Welcome), and
the main service is normally at 9.30 am on a Sunday.
Each week there is at least one service that is appropriate for
children, or has children’s Christian activities.
We also have various mid-week activities, including a toddler
group and groups that meet for friendship, prayer and to look at
the Bible together.
We are always happy to hear from people who would like to be
prayed for or ask anything about Christianity.
For more details or to ask about anything, please contact Revd
Richard Wise or see our website.

Bishopstoke Methodist Church
Our church building in Sedgwick Road has been recently
modernised to include disabled facilities, large meeting room
with patio and a smaller meeting room. We have been raising
funds to update our building over the last five years and in
doing so have strengthened many links with the community in
Bishopstoke.
Sunday Services: are at 10:30, with the 2nd Sunday of each month
usually being Holy Communion, and the 4th Sunday of each month
being all age worship appropriate for any age children.
Monday Ladies Fellowship meets at 7:30 each week, and the men’s
Man Friday meets on the first Friday of each month at 7:30. Look
out for various social events.
We meet with Rev Richard Wise and other members of the Anglican
Church each Tuesday morning at 8:45 to hold a half-hour of bible
reading and prayer in our new meeting room. Anybody is welcome
to join us, or if you have any prayer concerns please feel free
to contact me, Rev Lesley Martin
