Greenstead With St. Anne

Remembering the Duke of Edinburgh

Following the sad announcement of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, many will wish to remember him in prayer and to pray too for The Queen, the Royal Family and all who mourn.  With all the Churches in the land, we in Greenstead and St Anne’s share in giving thanks for the late Duke’s life and for his service to the nation and the Commonwealth.
The Church of England has published an online book of condolence which can be signed here.

Messy Church at St Matthew’s Church

Messy Church is starting at St Matthew’s Church Centre, Harwich Road on Sunday 30th of October from 4:00pm to 5:30pm.

Upcoming Dates Messy Church:

  • 29th January 4.00-5.30pm

Messy Church is church with a difference … in fact, lots of differences.  It’s for all ages, but especially for families with young children.  We have arts and crafts to start with, a chance for everyone to have fun and be creative. Then we have a short celebration service with singing and a story.  And last, but definitely not least, we serve up food to enjoy together.

Messy Church:

  • is a way of being church for families involving fun
  • is a church, not a craft club, that helps people encounter Jesus
  • is found across the world
  • values are about being Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration
