Our church is in Grove Park, Chiswick, just a stone's throw from the Thames. It has been used for Christian worship since 1872 and we would be delighted if you joined us. Christians of all denominations are welcome here, as are those searching for God and indeed the simply curious. We have one Eucharist Service a week, on Sundays at 10am and coffee is served afterwards at the back of the church. On Mondays the Meditation Group meet in church at 6:45pm for about half an hour and a quiet celebration of communion often follows this. On Fridays in church, we have a Stay and Play group for parents, babies and toddlers from 9:30-11:30am, a Coffee Club from 10:45am to 12 noon and a short Welcome Service taken by our Lay Minister Simon Surtees from 12-12:30pm.
You can contact our vicar Rev'd Caroline Halmshaw on

We are at the end of the season of Easter, which reaches its climax at Pentecost, before moving into a season of growth and learning (and hopefully some relaxation too). Thanks to everyone at St Paul’s for making this such an encouraging time, where we’ve celebrated our church, our community and above all, the hope of the Resurrection.
Pentecost marks the beginning of the history of the church, when the frightened and cowering disciples are emboldened by the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit to go to all corners of the world to let people know that God is with them and for them.
It’s good for us to think about the Holy Spirit and to think about our own relationship with him. In our daily lives we are called to ask for his support and strength in how we live. As the church, we are called to make Pentecost an ongoing reality in our world, to be a place of reconciliation and connection. Doing this involves courage and taking risks because when we say yes to the Holy Spirit we are saying yes to God and a life which is open to his leading.
We particularly want to hear from you if you are part of a growing family. We would like to do more at St Paul’s to connect with families and be a space where children can learn and flourish. Please get in touch if you have ideas for helping us do this.
Every blessing,
Caroline
A Prayer for the Peace of the World
O God, who would fold both heaven and earth in a single peace;
that the design of your great love lighten upon
the waste of our wraths and sorrows and give peace to your church,
peace among nations, peace in our dwellings and peace in our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
FLOWER FESTIVAL
The St Paul's Flower Festival from 16th -18th May was a wonderful occasion, with the church filled with fabulous floral displays from many different community groups for all to enjoy! There was also music from local players, and teas, coffee and cakes were served all weekend in the garden. You can see lots of photos on our Events Gallery page.
