2025 Annual Church Service
Sunday 29th June 2025
The Provincial Church Service will be held in The Collegiate Church of St Mary’s, Warwick on Sunday 29th June 2025, at 2.45pm.
This is one of the major events in the Provincial calendar, and the Provincial Grand Master believes that every Worshipful Master and Most Excellent Zerubbabel, along with their Wardens, Principals, Lodge and Chapter members and their families, should have the pleasure of attending this enjoyable occasion.
The Provincial Grand Chaplain, Timothy Boyns, will lead the service and deliver the sermon with representatives of the Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faiths taking part. The Provincial choir will be under the direction of Chris Grove MBE, while the Provincial Organist, Peter Summers will be playing the organ.
The Provincial Grand Master has directed that all reigning Worshipful Masters and Most Excellent Zerubbabels together with their Wardens and Chapter Principals across the Province are invited and encouraged to join in the procession of acting Provincial Grand Lodge Officers from Alderson House through Warwick to St Mary’s Church after the luncheon. If eligible, you can select if you would like to be included in the procession during the booking process.
Brethren who are not in the procession will clothe after taking their seats. Doors open at 1.45pm. Brethren with unreserved seats and their guests are requested to be seated not later than 2.15pm ready for pre-service music.
Dining will be at both Alderson House and the Warwick Arms Hotel. You can select your preferred venue on the booking form but unfortunately we are unable to guarantee which venue you will actually be assigned.
