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.
Groups and activities
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 Church 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.

St Paul’s Toilet Fund
“In for a penny, in for a pound”
We need your help...
At the moment we have no toilets in the church building - the nearest are at the bottom of the churchyard
in the church hall. This is very inconvenient for baptisms, weddings, funerals, and other church services
and social activities beneficial to the local community.
So we’re planning to have two toilet cubicles, one fully accessible for mobility impaired users, installed
in church at a cost of around £80,000 - costing this much largely because the church
building hasn’t got a sewer pipe outlet and the nearest connection for one to be laid is at the church
hall.
How you can help us...
You can make a donation to the Toilet Fund in any of the following ways:
-
By Bank Transfer - contact our Treasurer, Len Stevens for the account details.
If you are able to top up your gift via Gift Aid, please
download a Gift Aid form [MS Word, 18 KB].
Email the completed Gift Aid form to Len Stevens. Note: a signature is not required.
-
Put your donation in a blue Gift Aid envelope available in church and mark it
“Toilet” (cheques payable to ST. PAUL’S PCC)
