Throughout Christian history some Christian people have found
themselves isolated from the sacramental life of the Church for
all sorts of reasons, and particularly in times of plague, famine
and warfare.
At such times the Church has encouraged people to make what is
called a
spiritual communion. It is a way of uniting yourself with Jesus and entering into
communion with him even though you are not able to receive the
sacrament itself.

easyfundraising
and help us raise FREE funds for St Paul’s Church Toilet Fund
when you’re doing your everyday shopping online — it doesn't cost
you anything. When you raise your first £5, easyfundraising will
match it.
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.

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.
Safeguarding
We are committed to Safeguarding Children, Young People,
Victims/perpetrators of Domestic Abuse and Vulnerable Adults.
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 run
Children’s Holiday Clubs
and we have a
Christian Playgroup
which runs each morning in our Church Hall.
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.

disabled access facilities through the South Door off the Main road,
and a hearing loop for anyone using a hearing aid.
