Meeting in the vestry at Christ Church on the third Tuesday of each month from 10.45am to 12.30pm, this informal drop-in cafe is set up with small tables perfect for intimate chats to share bereavement issues and coping strategies, whether recent or long term. Coffee, tea and cake are provided.

The next Open Day at St Mary’s will have a motorbike theme! The Archdeacon of West Ham, Elwin Crockett, will be displaying his Triumph Bonneville, raising funds for Motorbikes for Marsabit - sending another 125cc bike to provide much-needed transport for church workers in the huge diocese of Marsabit, Kenya.  Do come along and support this great cause. If you can’t make it but would like to know more or donate, click here.  

Join us at St Gabriel’s Aldersbrook for this contemporary worship.

Canon Robert Hammond, Lay Vice-Chair of Chelmsford’s Diocesan Synod, will be coming to talk to us about the Church of England initiative, ‘Setting God’s People Free’ at both the 10am and 1115am services today.

Complement your visit St Mary’s to going to the Temple in Wanstead Park, where there is an exhibition about Josiah Child’s eight children.
