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 marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, when the nation unites to remember the end of the Second World War in Europe. It’s a landmark moment when we give thanks for those who were involved in that conflict, and when we pray for peace in our world and communities. As we remember people from our past we connect to the many people in the world today who are suffering because of war. May we, our local leaders and our national leaders do all we can to make our world a place where lasting peace is sought and found.
You are very welcome to come into the church and light a candle to remember loved ones who fought in the war. St Paul’s is open 10am-5pm.
A Prayer for Those who Served and Died in World War II
O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those men and women who have died in active service,
particularly in the Second World War, whose sacrifice brought Victory in Europe.
As we honour their courage and cherish their memory,
may we put our faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen
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
