It is a privilege for the church community to host people when they come to celebrate and commemorate the important events of family and community life.
Whether you are wishing to celebrate the gift of new life through Baptism, or your marriage, to commend a loved one at the end of their life, or to commemorate or celebrate any event or achievement, you are most welcome to contact us about it.
Wherever you are on Life’s pilgrimage, we can assure you of our prayers.
Initially, please contact the Parish Priest.
Priest's Letter September 2026
From the Parish Priest
Dear Friends,
We are all used to the routine of our seasons, both the temporal seasons of the year, and the seasons of our church year. Everything has its time and place.
Sometimes though, things happen that disrupt our normality and make us think again.
This month, major works will begin at St. Nicholas Broadwoodwidger, and during this time the church will not be open for visits or worship. God will not be absent, but we need to find another place to gather to worship him.
I hope very much that those who worship regularly at St. Nicholas will explore and enjoy the worship that is offered in the other parishes in this Mission Community, as I hope that those of us who worship in the other churches will join with the people of Broadwoodwidger in rejoicing and thankfulness when the work is completed and we are able to use the building for worship again.
At present, we cannot be sure of when this will be, so watch out for further notices.
As many of you know, I look forward immensely to leading the singing in our schools. It is such a wonderful privilege to hear the sound of children’s voices raised in song. This is something that crosses all national and cultural boundaries. Do please come and support the Pearl of Africa Children’s Choir, who are raising money to support children’s education in Uganda (see separate notice). I can assure you that it will lift your spirits immensely!!
With love and prayers,
Philip
