Welcome to St Martin’s Church !

Do join us at a Service, and feel free to ring with any enquiries.

Our main morning service is at 10.15 am, with Junior Church for children too.   Sung Evensong is at 6.30 pm on the last Sunday of each month.

Every month on a Tuesday morning we have Pre-school Praise.   This is a very relaxed singing and playtime for babies, toddlers and pre-school children, with their carers.   See below for dates and details.

On Tuesday mornings a fortnightly Homegroup meets informally at 10:15am at The Rectory.  Everyone is welcome.  Phone 01959 565829 for details. 

Through the year we have different events and groups, including a group following the Alpha Course.   This is an opportunity to find out about Christian faith, to raise any question and to discuss and develop our own opinions.   It’s open to everyone, atheist, agnostic, Christian - perhaps it’s of interest to you?     New course starting 1 May at 10am at The Rectory.  Phone 01959 565829 for details.

 

Our full Sunday Service details and contact numbers are below.   We have a strong musical tradition, and regular concerts are held at the church, in addition to the Choir’s leading of musical worship.   The Choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7.45pm.   Do ring with any enquiries, or come and meet us.    It would be lovely to see you.

The ringers and ringing

We currently have a band of about ten ringers and it is very rare for us not to have enough people to man the bells each Sunday - although we could always do with some more recruits. Our practice night is Friday from 7:45pm to 9.30pm and visitors, ringers or not, are very welcome.  We have an anti-clockwise circle of 8 bells. On Sunday mornings we ring from 9.30am to 10.15am. The Tower Captain is Catherine Lewis. She may be contacted on 01959 563767.

 

All the current members of the Brasted band are members of The Kent County Association of Change Ringers, the body which co-ordinates ringing activities in the county of Kent. The KCACR has its own web page on www.kcacr.org.uk. If you would like to find out more about ringing in Kent, please try this site - it has a lot of information about all aspects of ringing.
