We Meet at 10.30am every Sunday

We are a traditional Church of England parish church with an emphasis on helping folk to know and live out the good news of Jesus Christ.

There is an emphasis on listening to God, not least through the Bible, and allowing God's Spirit to build us up as a family of all ages. In this way we are helped to meet the challenges we all face and are also encouraged to offer a measure of healing to the brokenness inevitably encountered in a beautiful but broken world.

Re: Harvest Festival - 10.30am Sunday 13th October

It's not essential to donate anything, but it is our intention to pass on any food items to the Gravesend Foodbank which is part of the national chain of Foodbanks - sadly needed by so many families at the present time.
The sorts of goods that will be of most use to the Foodbank are:
Milk (UHT or powdered), Sugar, Fruit juice (carton), Pasta sauces, Sponge puddings, Cereals, Tomatoes (tinned), Rice pudding (tinned), Biscuits/snack bars, Tea bags (small boxes), Instant coffee (100g jars),Crisps, Instant mashed potato, Rice/pasta, Tinned meat/fish,
Tinned meat pies, Tinned fruit, Tinned vegetables, Jam/honey/choc spread. Basic toiletries will also be welcomed.

Thank you!
