Welcome

A very warm welcome to you and thank you for visiting our web site. We are a Church of England parish in the Anglican Diocese of Southwark and the Deanery of Croydon North. As a Christian and Anglican community, our congregation is made up of different cultures, young and not so young, all of whom share a love of the community and the desire to practice their faith.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We are greatly saddened that, following the latest guidance from the government and the Church of England, we have to suspend our regular acts of public worship.

We know, though, that there will be other ministry needs arising in the coming weeks and so we are currently exploring how we can best offer pastoral support for those who are unwell and those who are living in isolation. The clergy will continue to offer daily prayer and, as far as we are able. to celebrate the Eucharist, on your behalf, at 10am on Sundays, but in private. We are exploring ways in which we can enable you to participate in this from home.

If you would like us to pray specifically for yourself or a member of your family please contact us through the website or directly to rev.alison@outlook.com

We are in the process of updating our contact lists – as we do so we will pray for those individuals and families by name. If you have not heard from us, please make sure that we have your contact details.

In the meantime you can find more details of what the Church of England is recommending and offering here

You can find more details of prayer resources here

Please take care of yourselves, your family and your neighbours and pray regularly for all those whose lives have become more complicated, stressful or isolated by this virus.

Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.

Our Mission Prayer

Gracious and loving God, we pray for the mission of our church. By our worship and fellowship may we draw others to the love of God. In our lives may we live the gospel in kindness, forgiveness and compassion. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
