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.

WARM HUB – St Francis

warmhub

 

Warm Hub

Continues on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9.30am to 2.00pm. We offer tea and coffee facilities and soup. People are able to come into a warm space where they can rest, read, work or chat. The quiet room will be kept open as a space for those who prefer to be in a quiet zone. Foodshare and some Community Shop supplies are also available.

 

We need volunteers to help run the hub so please talk to Diane if you are able to help in any way or if you have a friend or neighbour willing to commit to help (after the necessary checks)

 

Please do keep this venture in your prayers as we continue to discern how God wants this parish to be over the next few months.
