Our church is in Grove Park, Chiswick, just a stone's throw from the Thames. It has been used for Christian worship since 1872 and we would be delighted if you joined us. Christians of all denominations are welcome here, as are those searching for God and indeed the simply curious. We have one Eucharist Service a week, on Sundays at 10am and coffee is served afterwards at the back of the church. On Monday evening there is a Meditative Prayer service at 7pm. On Fridays in the adjoining Grove Park Rooms,we have a Stay and Play group for parents, babies and toddlers from 9:30-11:30am; there is also a Coffee Club in church from 10:45am to 12 noon and this is followed by a short service taken by our Lay Minister Simon Surtees from 12-12:30pm.
You can contact our vicar Rev'd Caroline Halmshaw by
email or on 07742 738660.
Happy New Year! May we all know God's peace and light this year, may his love fill your home, and may those in positions of power be guided by his
truth.
Every blessing,
Caroline

Quartet for the End of Time
Michael Reed (piano), Beatrice Loveday Chappell (violin), Ben Chappell (cello) and Jacob Perry (clarinet)
French composer Messiaen created his masterpiece in a prisoner-of-war camp during the early days of World War II. Drawing together his Christian faith, his love of birdsong, and fervent belief in the sanctity of human life, he wrote the piece for the instruments and players available to him in the camp. An audience of 400 prisoners together with German officers attended its first performance. At a time when so much of the world is still ravaged by conflict, this profoundly moving work has never been more relevant. This unique performance will include a shprt introduction to the piece by Michael Reed.
The concert also includes classical and cabaret songs from the period, performed by acclaimed German soprano Felicia Brembeck.
