Our other churches will not be opening for private prayer at the moment but can be opened by private arrangement if there is a need. Please contact the relevant Churchwarden if you would like to do this. They are listed on the Contacts page.
If anyone has a need of any kind during this time, we are here to help if we can. Please contact one of the team – Mandy, Fiona, Jim or Kim – through the Contacts page and we will be pleased to support you at this time.
Welcome to our website for the North Leightonstone Benefice
The parishes of Alconbury, Buckworth, The Giddings, Hamerton, The Riptons, The Stukeleys, Upton & Winwick
We are 10 churches in beautiful rural Cambridgeshire stretching from Huntingdon almost to Peterborough. We have a wide range of churches, people and traditions serving the villages where we live. In all of our settings we witness to the love of God for each one of us in whatever place we find ourselves to be. We pray that you will find a warm welcome across our Benefice and look forward to meeting you.
On the various pages on this website you will find information and contact details for all of our Team, services and events as well as worship resources where you can look through, read and view previous sermons, services and events to get a flavour of how we worship. We are always happy to speak with anyone regarding any pastoral matter and would be very pleased to help in anyway we can.

Sunday Sermons
In case you missed the Sunday Service we
now publish each Sunday's sermon online.
It is a growing collection of the latest sermons
presented here to read at your leisure.
Worship at Home
We have crafted two simple acts of worship
particularly geared to those who are isolated or
housebound, or, as at present, cannot attend church.
Missed Funerals
With the added upset of having to miss
the funeral of a friend or loved one,
we offer the small consolation of a
simple funeral service you can say at home.

COVID-19 Restrictions
During the present emergency, in common with all other venues, our churches are closed to public worship.
However, the worst of situations often bring forth the best of solutions and we have started to live stream services on Sunday mornings at 9.30 am.
As ever, everyone is welcome. You’ll find everything you need to take on the page above. We offer orders of service and pew sheets for the readings
(along with instructions as to how to print them). Should you miss the service, it will remain as a video on YouTube Channel page on this website.
While we can't display the 'Potter's Wheel' (you may have to ask an older person about that), we do hope
"Normal Service(s) will be Resumed as Soon as Possible".
