 Parish aims

            We seek

• To extend a warm welcome to all who come to our church.

• To make our services friendly and approachable by all.

• To offer clear and relevant Bible teaching.

• To pray for and with all in any kind of need

• To provide help and support where relevant

Weddings

No wedding in Fingest is supposed to be lucky unless the bridegroom lifts his bride over the Church gate when leaving after the ceremony. The gate is tied up with ribbon so the newly wedded couple cannot get through it, while all their relatives, friends and villagers gather round to watch the old custom being duly observed.
