WelcomeVisitor Information
Wimborne Minster and the Northern Villages - Active Christian congregations worshipping in historic buildings set at the heart of our communities.
For over 1300 years Wimborne Minster has been a living centre for pilgrimage, prayer, mission and worship. In 2015, we joined with the villages to the north of the town - Holt, Hinton Martell, Horton, Chalbury and Witchampton - to continue that work, and together we extend a warm and inclusive welcome to all who come through our doors. In our buildings you will find history and some significant treasures, but more than anything, they are places where people have gathered and encountered something of God's love; places (to quote T S Eliot) "where prayer has been valid". We hope you will come and discover that truth for yourself.

Highlights
Aspects of Spirituality
Wednesday evenings in November
How we think about God
We have four very different perspectives on the theme; the first from Fr Paul Keys, Priest at St Catherine’s RC Church, Wimborne focuses on Ignatian ways of being with God.
Our second speaker is Richard Bush from Wimborne Quaker Meeting on Being Quaker: A Guided Life.
Thirdly, we have Robert Pearce and the Minster Environmental Group talking about Seeing God in Wilderness exploring how we relate God to the environment.
And our fourth speaker is Carole Gadsden from Wimborne Salvation Army, talking about our relationship with God in a talk entitled Relationship: reveal, respond, reflect.
This promises to be an interesting and thought-provoking series, stimulating our thinking about how we relate to God in our world today.
The talks are on Wednesdays, 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th November 2019 at 7.00 for 7.30 p.m. at the Minster. Light refreshments will be served before each talk. Tickets are £4.00 for each talk, or £14 for all four if bought together. Tickets are available from Wimborne Parish Office.
