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 Monday evening there is a Meditative Prayer service at 7pm and on Wednesdays between 10:30 and 12 there is a Midweek Group. On Fridays in the adjoining Grove Park Rooms,we have a Stay and Play group for parents, babies and toddlers from 9:30-11:30am; there is also a Coffee Club in church from 10:45am to 12 noon and this is followed by a short service taken by our Lay Minister Simon Surtees from 12-12:30pm.

 
You can contact our vicar Rev'd Caroline Halmshaw by email or on 07742 738660.

My name is Hélène Frost, and I was ordained as a Deacon last June by the now Archbishop, the Very Rev'd Sarah Mullally. I serve as a self-supporting minister, which means I am part of the clergy team on a part-time, unpaid basis, offering what I can in service to the life of the church. God willing, I hope to be ordained as a Priest this coming June, a step I approach with both excitement and a deep sense of humility.

My journey towards ordained ministry has, in many ways, been a lifelong one. Yet it only truly came into focus after I retired from senior leadership roles in the charitable sector. What had long been a quiet prompting became a call I could no longer set aside. I began my training for ordination at St Mellitus College, and I have come to see that so much of what went before was part of God’s gentle preparation for this season.

There is, of course, still so much to learn, and I remain very much in a place of ongoing formation and discernment—which is both stretching and exciting.
I live locally in Chiswick and am blessed with two grown-up sons and two grandchildren. My family is spread across five countries, so visiting them is always a joy. I also love walking pilgrimages, especially the Camino, which has been a meaningful part of my faith journey. And if you’ve been wondering about my accent—it comes from my roots, as I was born and raised in the Netherlands.

I am very much looking forward to getting to know you in the weeks ahead, and to sharing in this journey together as we seek to love and serve the Lord.

Every blessing,
Hélène

NEW PCC

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting on April 21st was well attended, and provided us with a chance to discuss many aspects of life at St Paul's.  We said thank you to five members of the Parochial Church Council who stepped down after (many!) years of very valuable service: Claire Carter, Sara Hodson, Tim Makower, Cecilia Thwaites and Bea Vickers.  We elected new members and you can find their details on the Contact Us and People pages of this website.
