St. Margaret's Church is a member of the Trunch Team of ten churches.

It is hoped that during the repairs to the roof and ceiling a normal service schedule can be maintained.  Any changes will be advertised on notice boards.

Your Parish Church is changing. As a result of a re organization in the Trunch Team, Antingham, Southrepps and Thorpe Market Churches will be working more closely together from the beginning of 2008.
The Team will maintain the schedule of a combined service for all of its 10 churches on the 5th Sunday in those months where it occurs.  The venue will be announced nearer the time.

The most obvious change will be a monthly cluster service, where all three congregations will have a joint service in one of the three Churches. For the rest of the month each church will maintain its own pattern and style of services.
The cluster services at Thorpe Market will be on the 2nd Sunday in January, April,July and October, at 10.45am.

As well as the cluster services, where we will be able to encourage and support each other, it is hoped that as the new grouping develops, we will organize other joint events as well as supporting each others activities. We are also looking forward to developing even closer links with The Methodist chapel in Lower Street.
Another noticeable difference will be in the way the cluster is staffed. The Rev David Bartlett (who lives in Southrepps Rectory) will take on responsibility for the new cluster and will be its main “Clergy Link” within the Trunch Team.

 
This new arrangement will not have any effect upon the normal arrangements for baptisms, weddings and funerals, which can still be arranged by contacting me, Rev. David Bartlett on 01263 833404 (or <revdb@internet.com>

I look forward to getting to know you better and pray that God will bless you in the coming year with His love, joy and peace.

At St. Margaret's Thorpe Market, a service of Holy Communion is held on the first Sunday of every month at 10:45 am.
Evening services take place at 6:30 pm on the third Sunday of every month. These are usually informal and with  Village Folk Band.  Occasional Choral Evensongs feature the choir of St. James' Southrepps.
All forth-coming services are advertised on the village green noticeboard and at the church.
