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.

I  love this season in the church when we go through the book of the Acts of the Apostles. It’s a vibrant and encouraging read, hiding nothing of the struggles of the early church, but confirming how despite all the fallbacks, the people kept going often with great joy, because they trusted God in all the ups and downs of life. It’s sometimes hard to do this, but our lives are transformed when we do reach out to God. Perhaps one of the most important prayers is to ask for eyes to see Him in our everyday lives.

As this season moves on, we are delighted to let you know that we’ve started some new activities in church, particularly a Children’s Church during our Sunday 10 am service. We want to provide the opportunity for young people to receive from us the nurture and care they need to grow in faith and love. Huge thanks to Ella Lofts and Barbara Studd for their enthusiasm in getting this going. Do get in touch with them if you'd like to find out more, or help them with running this group, which is running during school term times only.

Whether you're going away, or staying at home and enjoying the joys of a glorious British summer, I hope you have a fun and relaxing time.

With love

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.
