We are so excited to share some fabulous news! Zuriel and his family have been coming to St Edward's Church now for three generations and are a big part of our community. Zuriel was a chorister in St Edward's Church, and in September got the exciting news that he had been accepted at Westminster Abbey Choir School. Such a privilege to be part of Zuriel's journey. Watch his interview with Father David on our Facebook site, where he talks about what it is like to be in the school and what he enjoys the most.7We look forward to hearing more about Zuriel's success in the future - well done and St Edward's are so proud of you! If you want to join our choir please do see the join our choir tag on the left hand of this page.

Once again, St Edward's Church in Romford are working in partnership with Lennox Children's Cancer Fund and SMILE (Supporting Families in a Crisis). This year our community collected new toys and donated them to the two charities. Today, the parcels were dropped off to Queens Hospital. Here are some photos of them getting ready to go and with the team at Queens's Hospital. There are few things more heart warming than the excitement of children diving into their presents at Christmas. It's all the more when families are supporting unwell children. It is always a joy for St Edward's to support the work of Lennox, to know that at a small act of generosity will brighten Christmas for families when support is needed more that ever. Happy Christmas to all the families, patients and staff at Queen's Hospital from St Edward's Church, Romford. St Edward's support our community - Team Romford!
Our fabulous Christmas Bazaar was on 2nd December. Our thanks to everyone who contributed! Our up to date total is in excess of £2500 with more coming in! A fantastic community event and so great to see so many new people in St Edward's.
