Welcome to St Paul's
Welcome to St Paul's

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 07742 738660.

We recently held a service to celebrate the feast of Candlemas. It’s a time of hope – looking to the returning light as winter fades and spring approaches. In pre-electric days the congregations would bring their beeswax candles to church to be blessed, and take them home as a way of remembering that Christ’s light goes with us in our everyday lives. And when times were hard, they would light the candles, to remember that even in the toughest times, Jesus brings hope and light.

 

I hope as you see spring approaching you can enjoy and hold on to those signs of hope. In a world that feels threatened by darkness, there is so much that is good. My prayer is that each of us and the church more widely might reflect that light and bring comfort and joy to others.
