A new café style service at St. Paul’s led by Steve which will vary between morning worship and Holy Communion, but always a time of eating together with worship, discussion and fellowship. Join us from 10:15 on the 1st Sunday of every month for café worship.
Midweek Communion at St Luke's
Every Wednesday 10am
Do join Cathy for Holy Communion every Wednesday at St. Luke’s at 10 am. Friendly, relaxed communion for those who need a bit of space with God in the week. Pop your head in the door and make yourself at home.
Sunday Worship at St Paul's Tadley
Sundays 10.15am
Every Sunday (except 2nd in the month when we have Messy Church at 10am), we have a great family-oriented, accessible service for all with music by our band.
There is also an amazing children’s group in the hall from 10:15 am with Messy Church-style stories and crafts. So the kids can have fun, while you enjoy the service.
Good tea, coffee, and cake are served after the service.
September - the month ahead
Message from Rev Steve McKay
Rector - Benefice of Tadley with Pamber Heath and Silchester
Moderator - Churches Together Around Tadley
This month we are devoting teaching in our services to the topic of Stewardship. Jesus has entrusted to us, his disciples, a commission to share his love though our giving, not just our money but also our gifts, talents, and time. Discipleship and stewardship are indivisible, for both are about sharing His love.
So, this month we hope to gain a better understanding of the biblical basis of stewardship. Our clergy will be traveling around each parish, each exploring one unique aspect of stewardship. We will also be identifying some great opportunities to get involved in each of our parishes, there will be no pressure, just a recognition that as disciples of Jesus, this is your church and everyone has a chance to get involved! We'll round the month off with a special benefice service led by our clergy team and Revd Georgi Thompson Leask, Winchester Diocese Stewardship Advisor. There will be an opportunity at this service to sign up for any areas of church life you are interested in getting involved in as well as a great time of fellowship over a bring-and-share lunch.
This all precedes first week of October {6th) when each of our parishes will celebrate Harvest Festival, a time when we remember all things come from God we give back what is already his. (1 Chronicles 29:6-17)
There are also some other special events happening this month. We take a week off the theme of Stewardship on 2nd Sunday in September. The annual Battle Britain Commemoration service takes place at St. Mary's, Tadley, there's an outdoor service on The Village Green at Silchester and of course Messy Church is at St. Paul's (on the theme of givingI) And please don't forget the Silchester Fete on 7th September from 11am. This will be followed by SilFest - Silchester's own music festival -do put this date in your diary as the fete gets bigger and more popular each year. I hope you are blessed by everything that happens across the benefice this month.
The Mission of our Churches
Faith. Love. Community.
Our churches are gatherings of people from Tadley, Pamber Heath and beyond that meet together to thank God for His love, encourage one another in faith and support each other in sharing God's love with our neighbours.
Our vision is to love both our God and neighbours. St Paul helps us to understand the nature of this love; patient, kind, without envy, free, selfless, trusting, hoping, truthful, and perservering.
We welcome everybody, regardless of your history, beliefs or lifestyle to join us in the pursuit of God and the common good.
Three Buildings ... One Church
The church is the people; our buildings are great places to meet each other, celebrate special occasions or just drop in to pray. People have laughed and loved, wept and prayed in these buildings for over 800 years.
St Paul's and St Luke's buildings are fully accessible. We regret that, due to its age and location, St Peter's is not wheelchair accessible, and is not equipped with a hearing loop.
