Church at the Heart of the Community
Welcome to the Parish of Wargrave with Knowl Hill
Advent Sunday
This coming Sunday is Advent Sunday, and we'll be celebrating with our All Age Communion Service at 10.00am. This year, our theme is 'Follow the Star', as we begin our Advent journey by lighting the first candle of Hope, reflecting on what hope means - the light that shines in the darkness as we watch and wait for God's promises.

Our Churches
-
St Mary's

St Peter's

-
St Paul's
St Paul's, Warren Row is a Mission Church in the hamlet of Warren Row and is the smallest of the three churches in the Parish. It is known informally as the ‘Tin Tabernacle’ holding one service a month.
Advent marks the beginning of the church year - a season of waiting, watching, and preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to look forward to His coming again. It's a time filled with hope, peace, joy, and love as we journey together towards Christmas and beyond.
Join us on Advent Sunday (30th November) for our All Age Communion service at 10:00am as we kick off this year's Christmas theme, 'Follow the Star'.
This first Sunday of Advent invites us to follow the Star of Hope, beginning our journey towards Christmas with anticipation, joy, and hope for all ages. Families are invited to start the service together, with children of primary school age leaving during the sermon to join Fun & Faith for Advent activities, returning later to share in Communion.
