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

Happy New Year!
Perhaps, like me, you’ve written down a list of things you’d like to get done, achieve or take part in this year. January is a good month for reflection, to take stock, learn from last year and prepare ourselves for the year ahead.
I think the most significant way we can do this is by asking God, what are you leading me to? I have a sense that God goes before us, and we can be confident in his leading. A good question to ask is, what can I do to bring you joy and delight in 2025?
I hope that in whatever direction you are led, that you know God’s presence and peace.
Caroline
A PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR
To a troubled world,
peace from Christ
To a searching world,
love from Christ
To a waiting world,
hope from Christ
Amen
