Welcome
The West Purbeck Benefice is based in the beautiful Purbeck region in Dorset. Comprised of seven churches, the benefice provides a wide range of services and events in the churches and local community.
Take a look at the Benefice's weekly publication, The Link.
Advent with the Church of England
We invite you to mark the Advent season with us and Join The Song! As you make your preparations for Advent and Christmas, we have the following resources available:
Follow The Star App: Daily Advent reflections will be available in the Follow the Star app from 1 December and run until 24 December. The reflections include a Bible reading, short reflection, activity suggestion and prayer. Audio of the reflections is also included in the app. Learn more and download the app.
Online Advent calendar: Join The Song and find daily reflections for all ages, as well as audio versions so you can take a moment to reflect, even on the move. Follow along this December.
Christmas reflections booklets, prayer cards and more: This year's Christmas reflections by Richard Carter can be ordered in standard or large print, as well as prayer cards promoting the free digital versions. Find out more.
Alexa: Listen to the Advent and Christmas reflections by telling Alexa to, "Ask the Church of England for today's Follow the Star reflection."
Promoting a Safer Church
Each parish in the Benefice has adopted the Salisbury Diocesan Safeguarding Policy, which can be seen here.
