Cleaner and brighter - there is still a lot to do but our church hall is already looking so much smarter with its new lighting.

Our church hall is a resource for all the community, hosting exercise classes for all ages as well as martial arts, dance and performing arts classes for young people, not to mention welcoming other churches to worship. But it's in dire need of a glow-up! Which starts today 😁

Music playing, burgers on the barbie - come and join us.here until 4pm

Mthr Patricia and our Mothers' Union went to @StPaulsLondon for a wonderful @MothersUnion service last night. Bonus - they received an award for their work in raising awareness of domestic violence!

Mother Anna was interviewed on ITN news this evening, telling our community that the church will be open this evening and will re-open early tomorrow for anyone who wants to light a candle or talk as we come to terms with the loss of a young man from our community.

We are heartbroken at the news of the death by violence of a 16yo boy in our parish. Please join us in praying for everyone affected by this tragedy. St Aldhelm's Church is open for anyone who wants a listening ear, a cup of tea or to light a candle.
