Welcome to Anna Benefice
Welcome! We are a benefice of three rural parishes nestled below Andover and comprising of the churches and villages of
St Mary’s, Abbotts Ann,
All Saints, Upper Clatford
St Peter’s Goodworth Clatford
Each church and village has its own unique identity and this makes us a special benefice. We are united together in the common goal of building the kingdom for God here in the beautiful setting of Test Valley.
Worship takes place in each of the churches every week (see our Sunday Services link), with Communion at the heart of worship alongside lay-led services. Through our singing, prayers and sharing God’s word, we are learning what it means to be a church that follows the teachings of Christ, every day of our lives and not just on Sundays.
After a vacancy of a year, we are now beginning to look at how, in the coming months, we will shape our benefice to build on all that has been successful and to create a new vision for the next chapter of our story across all our communities.
Do keep checking in on the website as we add more about our social activities as well as our church services. There is a lot going on in the benefice and it will be great to see you, whether that is in church or out and about.
With every blessing
Teresa (Priest in Charge)
