We have many services to celebrate or to commemorate special days within our church calendar; aside from
our formal and informal worship and our Easter and Christmas services
at Cudham Church and St Mary's, Downe.
On this webpage you will find more information about these special services.

St Francis of Assisi Day and Blessings of Animals

A United Service celebrating St Francis of Assisi, The Patron Saint of Animals in Downe.  A time to bring a pet (safely on a lead or if a small animal (safely in a cage) or a photo of a pet for a blessing.

 Remembrance Sunday
Both our churches hold Act of Remembrance Services during November in our churchyards and churches. In recent years we have seen colourful displays of cascading poppies flow from the church window at Downe and knitted poppies displayed at Cudham Church. In 2024 those at Cudham included purple ones to honour the animals used and lost in wars and white ones amongst the flowers on the church altar for peace.

Harvest Service

Harvest is a time when we are all encouraged in our communities to bring non-perishable items to give to others and to reflect on God's goodness to us and to give thanks.
Our gifts are given to local foodbanks and chosen charities.
