Welcome to the

Widford Parish Website

In these uncertain times we as a church have been listening

to the Government and The Church of England.

We have had to make the difficult decision to stop

meeting together as we are accustomed to do.

We will no longer be meeting in our clubs and groups,

and as a church we will not be coming to worship together on Sundays.

We are aware that we all need routine in our day and most importantly

that we keep our God in the centre of all that we do.

As we are unable to meet together

how about trying one or both of these two new initiatives.

Please do read Churchtalk as it has more information

At a time of uncertainty....

A word of encouragement to us all is given in Joshua 1:9 -

"Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed,

for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
