Ash Wednesday Evening Service

for 1 hour
St Matthew's Wigmore
Drewery Drive, Wigmore, Gillingham Kent, ME8 0NX, United Kingdom

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent, and there are two services in the parish that day - one at 9.30am at St Paul's and one at 7pm at St Matthew's. Both services will have Holy Communion, and the opportunity for 'ashing' - receiving the sign of the cross on the forehead, as a reminder of our mortality.

Hempstead: All Saints'

All Saints Church was built in 1911 as a Mission Church by the people of Hempstead. Today we seek to capture their original vision by seeking to be a church at the heart of the village with Jesus at the centre of our lives. Our worship is a mixture of traditional and contemporary. You will find a warm welcome at All Saints.

We have a weekly newsletter which is sent out to the congregations in the Parish. To be added to the circulation list of the weekly "Keeping in Touch" newsletter please email [email protected] and let us know if you have a connection to one of the 4 churches in particular.

The Parish of South Gillingham: All Saints' is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Rochester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services."
