Notices

Transport Assistance

If you are finding it difficult to get to church or to attend medical appointments, please contact the Parish Office in confidence. Thanks to a gift given in memory of Carol Fulcher, help with taxi fares may be available.

Everyday Faith

Everyday Faith will not be gathering on 11th November.

An Advent Course will begin on 25th November for four consecutive weeks. Further information to follow.

A more regular pattern will begin again in the new year.

Safeguarding Survey

Ahead of the Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding audit in early 2027, everyone in our church community is encouraged to complete the confidential and anonymous online survey. Your feedback is valuable in helping to ensure our churches remain safe, welcoming and respectful places for all.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey: https://ineqe.com/churchofengland/chelmsford/

Thank you for your support.

Mother’s Union

The next gathering will be on Wednesday 11th November. We begin with Holy Communion at 1:30pm in the Chapel at St Peter’s; followed by our meeting at 2pm, with a quiz and refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Christmas Fayre Donations!

We would be very grateful for donations to help make our Christmas Fayre a success. Donations can be left during Sunday services or brought to the Parish Office during weekday opening hours.

Thank you for your generosity!

Parish Office Hours

The Parish Office will be open Monday to Friday, 9.00am-12 noon.

You are very welcome to come in during these times. Outside of this time will be dedicated to administration and other parish work, so the office may not be staffed beyond these advertised hours.

Please do continue to get in touch by email at office@huttonparish.com. We are always happy to hear from you, and will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

School Admissions - Church Attendance and SIF Forms

If you are planning to apply for a September 2027 school place (applications open in autumn 2026) at Becket Keys, Hutton All Saints, or any school which requires a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to confirm church attendance, please email andy@huttonparish.com to inform Fr Andy.

Current attendance requirements are:

Becket Keys School - Fortnightly attendance for three years for September 2027 - Year 7 entry.

Hutton All Saints School - Regular monthly attendance over one year.

Parents and children are strongly encouraged to take an active part in the life of the church. Registering for Children’s Church is one of the simplest ways of helping attendance to be recorded. Participation in wider church activities and ensuring you are known to the clergy will also help make the signing of forms straightforward and avoid any difficulty or embarrassment.

Please note that online attendance does not count towards school admissions criteria.

Completed SIF forms should be delivered to the Parish Office for signature

(open weekdays, 9.00am-12.00pm). You will be contacted once the form is ready for collection.
