Welcome to the new (and evolving!) website for the parishes of Mereworth, Wateringbury and West Peckham. We are three parishes grouped together as a benefice. Each church has it’s own style and feel but you will find a warm and friendly welcome at any of our church services. We hope you will join us!
Do use our website to find out more about us and feel free to get in touch if you don’t find what you’re looking for in these pages.

The subjects for the sessions are: 1 The existence of God; 2 Who is Jesus; 3 The Holy Spirit and the Church; 4 The gift of faith; 5 Finding true freedom and 6 The meaning of Love. Each session is “stand alone” so even if you can only come to one or two sessions you will still be able enjoy them.
