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. There is a Children's Chuch during the service (during school term times only) 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.

Sometimes, at this time of year it’s hard to work out whether we’re lamenting the end of summer, or excited about the sense of starting again. For many of us, autumn is about change, about new challenges and a sense of life moving on or picking up pace. Whatever you’re facing, know that God is with you and goes before you. 

At St Paul’s, our Children's Church, Stay and Play and Friday Coffee mornings are all restarting. There will also be Confirmation Classes, a Parish Quiet Day, and a new Prayer Group. It’ll be lovely to see you at one of these or at our regular services.

A prayer for this new season:

God of our lives,

you are always calling us

to follow you into the future,

inviting us to new ventures and new challenges,

new ways to care,

new ways to touch the hearts of all.

When we become fearful of the unknown give us courage,

When we worry we are not up to the task,

remind us that you would not call us

if you did not believe in us.

With thanks for all you do to support the life of St Paul’s.

Caroline

OUR PCC

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 21/4/26 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.
