Open the Book

A dedicated team of church members visits Siddington School Assembly once a week to bring the Bible alive for the children in our community. Open the Book is a great opportunity for the children to learn about Adam and Eve, Noah, David, Jonah and the life of Christ, with 10-minute dramatized stories from the Bible. The team of volunteer storytellers use drama, mime, props and costumes to present the Bible in a lively, engaging, fun and informative way.

Flower Festival

Siddington is proud of its church flowers. If you enjoy flower arranging, please contact Jill Simmonds on 01285 654633 to be included in the rota to decorate the church. There is also a biannual flower festival in June when some gardens are open to the public.
