Widford Parish

Widford Parish Widford Parish covers two of the five Churches in the South West Area of Chelmsford Essex. St. Marys The Parish covers two Churches:

St. Mary's and CHS.

Rector: Reverend Stephanie Gillingham

Widford Parish is located in South West Chelmsford, Essex. Mary's, a Victorian built and traditional Church, which meets at 9:30am on Sundays and Church of the Holy Spirit (CHS), a more modern and contemporary church building, which meets at 10:30am

Both Churches run Sunday Schools with scripture specific activities for children to do, making them more invol

ved in the service. Morning Prayer and Holy Communion run alternatively each week at St. On the second Sunday of the month CHS have an All Age Service, whereas this is held at St. Mary's on the fourth Sunday of the month. If there is ever a fifth Sunday in the month, we join at either one of our Churches, or St. Luke's, St. John's or St. Michaels, the other Churches in the South West Area

We're honestly not quite sure how after your generosity last time, but we are running VERY low on towels, flannels and non-fitted sheets here at the hospital! 😱

If any of you have any to spare to help keep our patients clean, please drop them off at our centre (RM16 3BH) between 9am and 10pm daily! Thank you so much ❤️
