There are special Services at Harvest, Christmas, Easter etc. All Saints’ Terling and St Mary and St Peter, Fairstead have been in our villages for nearly a thousand years. In that time they have been a help, comfort, challenge, encouragement and inspiration to many. They are both left open every day and are often visited. Some visitors are interested in history and architecture, some are looking for their roots and some come to pray or meditate in a quiet, peaceful environment. All Saints’ has a children’s corner set up with books and drawing materials so that younger children can be occupied. FEEL FREE TO USE THESE TWO CHURCHES. Terling Chapel (United Reformed Church) has served the village for nearly three hundred years. It holds weekly Sunday services. Its notice board gives details. This is how the Christian Church in Terling and Fairstead tries to provide for those seeking God and those trying to live a Christian life: CHILDREN Baptism: Edward Bear Club: Explorers. ADULTS Mothers’ Union: Rectory at 10 monthly Bible Study: Monthly Tea Service: Groups are run by Terling Chapel: the Rector runs Enquirers’ Groups or Confirmation Groups when needed. EVERYONE Church and Chapel Services are at various times and range widely in style – something for everyone. You are assured of a welcome but we promise not to overwhelm you! The Parish Magazine carries full information – it can be sent to you. FAMILY HISTORIANS The churches have records dating back to the 1500’s. Most have been deposited with the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford. Some copies and transcripts are available in the church or by arrangement with the Rector. There are books about Terling’s history written by Mercia Langstone on sale in the Village Stores and at the Rectory. More ideas: Christian Books, music and videos – we have stalls occasionally, there are Christian Bookshops in the URC Church in Witham, on Parkway and in the Cathedral in Chelmsford.
