Welcome.

St Thomas’ Church is part of a group of 4 churches served by our Rector and a small team of clergy. Each church has one or more church wardens, together with a group of volunteers who work within the church and the wider community. We also have a youth congregation which meets on Thursday evenings in the Rectory.

We invite you to share in our worship, friendship and  activities. We believe that people of all ages can join in and benefit from the opportunities for Christian discipleship and fellowship made possible in this parish.

If you are not a church-goer, or if you haven't been to church for some time, come and try it for yourself, you may be pleasantly surprised. You will certainly be joining people who feel that church gives enrichment to their lives. We assure you of a warm welcome.

Welcome to our services in October and our Harvest Festival Services.

During these services there will be an opportunity to light a candle in memory of our loved ones. Book in or just turn up. continue bible series - Acts and the Early Church.

We have teamed up with St Georges Church, Pontesbury to do a monthly meditation service, at 7pm on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between St Georges and Longden. The first one will be at St Georges and The Revd Greg Smith will lead with an Ignatian style gathering of prayer, meditation and reflection lating one hour with a break for refreshments half way through.

On the third Sunday at Hanwood at 4.30pm we've introduced a new service – Songs of Praise. This is an informal service in which people are asked to choose their favourite hymn and say why they have chosen it.
We also have reading(s) from the Bible, a short reflection and prayers. The service lasts about 45 minutes. Refreshments are provided after the service.

Do come and sing along with us. If you'd like to sing a particular hymn, please get in touch with our curate Freddie Strong who'd love to hear from you. revfreddiestrong@gmail.com
