• If you are a new giver, or thinking about giving to St Paul’s, thank you!

Your gift is warmly appreciated...but please transfer to the Parish Giving Scheme by scanning the QR code in chuch. 

How it works (an example only)

• St Paul’s receives £50.00 from PGS

Church Heating

Now that the cooler months have arrived, the church heating is generally on for services and events but the nave is a large space with high ceilings, so most of the heat collects up there; please consider bringing an extra layer to wear when you visit.
