Welcome

We are a friendly parish with worshippers of all ages.
We believe that God is calling us to be the church that he wants us to be by growing closer to Him and each other through worship and fellowship.

We also believe He calls us to proclaim and demonstrate His love effectively within our community by the reality of our faith.

There are two churches in our parish:
St Francis’ Church in Beckingham Road, Westborough.
St Clare’s Church at the junction of Southway and Cabell Road, Park Barn.

Thanks to all who supported the Quiz night last week, great evening with ages raging from 4yrs – 95yrs. Congratulations to the winning team {The 2 Brendas and the rest} which just happened to be the smallest team!!

Thank you particularly to Dawn for organising it for persuading Johnathon, Craig and Laura to run it again. ‘Great team’

Also thanks go to Angela, Mollie and Tracey for selling the raffle tickets and Dougie setting up the hall. The evening raised £301 for church funds.

Gospel Choir, ‘Motivation by music’

Many of us had a great time at the lively and joyful Gospel Choir’s Christmas Carol Service.

Just a reminder of the invitation given by Emily Bollon, to try out a free session ‘Motivation by Music’. Emily’s philosophy is that everyone can sing and everyone should have great fun whilst doing so.

Why not give it a go. They meet on a Wednesday Evening 6.30pm in the Church.
