Welcome to our website. This page (and indeed this site) is primarily designed for people who are not existing church members but who want to find out more about us. We hope it gives useful information and a flavour of life at St. Paul’s.
We seek to be missionary and to serve our parish and its people by baptising, celebrating marriages and conducting funerals of those within the parish boundaries (see Map) and by maintaining contact with people through Christmas and Easter Cards and information leaflets and the monthly parish magazine called High Tide. Outreach is the object of S.P.O.T (see SPOT) and our publicity committee. We have a range of activities for people of all ages in the Parish Centre (see Parish Centre).
We are proud of our Church Aided Primary School with which we maintain close links.
We also seek to provide a welcoming place where God can be worshipped and in which there is an atmosphere which helps people to pray.
Worship at St.Paul’s in the catholic tradition of the Church of England.
Our services on Sunday mornings are:
The Parish Eucharist at 9.30 when children and babies are as welcome as adults (we use a modern language liturgy with a cross section of traditional and good modern music).
The 11.15 Service provides a Eucharist for people not used to the formality of the Parish Eucharist. Teaching is a strong element of this service and it is at this service that we baptise.
Our Christian Life together is centred on the Sunday and daily celebrations of mass (the source and summing up of our life in Christ and the foundation of our mission).
In addition we seek to provide nurture to deepen the Christian life of people by running various courses and a Prayer Group.
Organisations cater for various interests and needs and buttons on the homepage will lead you to more information.
