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.
We are a friendly church and you will find a warm welcome at our services and church groups.
We have an active Mothers’ Union 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.
Light up St Paul’s Spire!
Everyone is invited to participate in our Spirelight Dedication, to commemorate an Anniversary, Birthday or any other memorable date.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak we had to temporarily close our church building for worship and private prayer. As a result, giving reduced dramatically.
The cost of running the church is high and, even while the building is closed, we still have bills to pay.
This has come at a time when we were making progress with our project to install toilets in the church building.
?We would like to say a big thank-you to those of you who have given already and, if you are able to give, that will help to keep us solvent.
Below are details on how to give via Bank Transfer:
If you can top-up your gift with Gift Aid, and we don’t already have a Gift Aid declaration from you, let us know and we’ll send you one.
Please contact our Treasurer, Len Stevens.
“In for a penny, in for a pound”
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.
You can make a donation to the Toilet Fund in any of the following ways:
If you donate online, please download a Gift Aid form [MS Word, 18 KB].
