No Christingle in church this year!

Sadly Covid-19 has succeeded in preventing us holding a live Christingle Service at St Lawrence's Church this year.

But keep watching to see if other options become possible!!

Important Notice

Sadly, Covid-19 has again shut our church doors. As from now there will be no more regular services held at St Lawrence's nor will it be possible to open the church for private prayer as we do not have enough volunteers available.
Hopefully, Covid-19 permitting, we will reopen in December.

Welcome to the
Reverend
Gary Townsend

The Bishop of Rochester and the Patrons, Rochester Cathedral and Viscount Falmouth are pleased to announce that, subject to the usual legal formalities, The Reverend Gary Townsend, at present Vicar of Henham and Elsenham with Ugley, will be the next Rector of Mereworth, Wateringbury and West Peckham.

Gary is really looking forward to taking up this post and to getting to know everyone. He is likely to be instituted and inducted in January, although this is entirely dependent upon Covid-19 restrictions. He would very much appreciate your prayers at this time.

Announcements

Join Christians from all over the UK in prayer. Every day at 6pm we will pause and pray for those impacted by the pandemic.
