Dear Friend

Welcome to the Bury St Edmunds circuit website.  We hope that you will be able to find what you are looking for, but if not then please contact the circuit office or one of the ministers.

We cover some five hundred square miles of rural mid Suffolk, stretching from Needham Market in the east, taking in Stowmarket as you travel west, across to the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds and then down to Sudbury. Delightful, picturesque villages can be found on the minor roads throughout the area which makes travelling through the countryside a pleasure.

Nine  churches make up the Circuit, one of which, Christchurch in Needham Market, is a united URC/ Methodist congregation. From large town centre churches to smaller village chapels the Circuit seeks to give expression to our calling as worshipping, serving, outward looking, and caring communities.  

I hope you will enjoy exploring this website and discovering all that the churches of the Circuit have to offer.
