Welcome to Our Parish
Welcome!
I am so pleased you are interested in knowing more about our
parish and the three churches. We are unique in that we are one
parish with three distinct worshipping communities: St Nicholas, St
Mary’s and All Saints. Each has its distinctive character and
serves a particular area of the parish, but you are welcome to
worship wherever you feel most at home.
In all three churches we aim to be a lively community connecting
with God’s love in new and imaginative ways. Each church has a
variety of worship services, traditional and family friendly. There
is provision for children and young people at many of the
services. We want worship to be sacred but accessible, dignified
but engaging. There are many different activities across the
parish that you are welcome to join in as well. In the end, we
want to be a community that in loving God, we love and serve
one another and love and serve the world, beginning with our
own neighbourhood.
We hope this little leaflet will give you most of
the information you need. If you have any
further questions or if we can assist you in any
way, please do contact the parish office or one
of the clergy.
Every blessing to you.
