The three parishes of the Meridian Benefice belong to the Church of England in the Diocese of Ely. The Benefice is named after the Greenwich Meridian, which passes through the centre of the parish group. See map

Holywell-cum-

Needingworth

Bluntisham-cum-Earith

A warm welcome awaits you at any or all of our three church families. We are people who want to follow Jesus in every part of our lives, by offering love to everyone and walking with people on their journey towards having a relationship with Jesus.

The three churches embrace a rich diversity of worship. Each of our churches has a different flavour: the main services at Bluntisham-cum-Earith and Colne being more informal and Holywell-cum-Needingworth being more on the traditional pattern, but all are within the structure of Common Worship. We also have a monthly Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion at each of the churches and special services such as All Souls and Taizé worship.

We warmly welcome families and children to our services and have additional services for families: once a month we have Messy Church at Bluntisham-cum-Earith and Music Makers at Holywell-cum-Needingworth and at Colne. There is also a Sunday school for varying ages at Colne.

Wherever you come you will need to know that the heartbeat of our churches is pursuing God. Our passion is to know him, to be in His presence so that we can be changed into His likeness. As our lives are being transformed by Him, we in turn are dynamically empowered to help transform the world around us.

The pew leaflet is given out at each church service in the Benefice each week. It contains information on the week’s readings and Collect, details of services and other events for the week ahead, and the names of people we are asking you to remember in your prayers. It is updated on this site every week, usually on Thursdays.
