Our Summer Fayre takes place on Saturday June 15th from 11am - 2pm.
All our fayres are organised to raise funds to feed Kenyan Street Children and we know that’s where the full amount goes. The Kenyan Mothers’ Union,
an Anglican Christian organisation, takes care of the purchase and provision of food – one hot meal each week to upwards of 200 children, mostly boys.
There are a few tables available to craft themed stallholders sited in the church. No set fee but donations welcomed. Contact Len Stevens.

Assistant Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Vicar of St Paul’s Woodford Bridge: Revd Alexandra Podd
Revd Alexandra Podd
The Bishop of Barking and the Rector of Woodford, as Patron, are
pleased to announce the appointment of Revd Alexandra Podd as
the next Assistant Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Vicar of St
Paul’s, Woodford Bridge.
Alexandra is currently serving in the Diocese of Ely in the parishes of Christ
Church in Orton Goldhay and Orton Malborne, St Andrew’s Alwalton and St
Michael’s Chesterton.
Before ordination, Alexandra had considerable experience in ministry among
young people. She is no stranger to this diocese, having grown up in
Chelmsford. Alexandra will hold these roles jointly, spending half of her time on
each role.
We look forward very much to welcoming Alexandra to St Paul’s Woodford
Bridge and the wider Diocese. The date of her institution/collation by Bishop
Guli at St Paul’s Woodford Bridge will be announced in due course. In the
meantime, please pray for her as she prepares to leave her current parishes
and move to Woodford Bridge.

Who we are
We are a Christian Parish Church in Essex in the
Diocese of Chelmsford, and part of the
Church of England. We are here to spread the ‘Good News’ about
God and his Son Jesus Christ.
The Bible says “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in
him may not die but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). That means those who ‘follow’ Jesus Christ, who love his company, respect his teaching, trust his
promises and are prepared to let this affect their lives.
Life events
To arrange a baptism or wedding, please ask
at our weekly 10am Sunday Service.
We are a friendly church and you will find a warm welcome at our services and church groups.
For children, we have a Children’s Sunday Club every Sunday at 10:00 in the hall. We also run
Children’s Holiday Clubs.
We run a Coffee morning every Thursday from 10 to 12 noon. All are welcome.
We have an active Mothers’ Union meeting on the first Tuesday
of each month and our Textile Group has created
inspiring and colourful banners for the church and meets fortnightly.
“Just for Girls” meet fortnightly on a Tuesday morning from 10—12 noon for Worship, Meditation, Prayer
and Fellowship. The group is open to women who are members of St Paul’s church. Please contact
Pauline Bolding for further details.
