Since Lent 2004 the doors of the church have been opened every Wednesday 9.30am till 3.00pm (as well as at various other times) as part of an initiative to make better use of our lovely building and to let the people of Hillingdon know that this is THEIR church.
A steady trickle of people have found their way in, for all sorts of reasons, and momentum is gathering for more of this openness.
Some come to look around or to research family history, others because they see the sign outside as they are passing and are curious to see inside. Now and then someone comes with a particular need looking for help of some kind.
We believe that there are very many people who would not think of coming along on a Sunday to a service, but who would value a space to explore their spirituality, and that we have a responsibility to do all we can to offer them a hospitable place and to enable them to connect with God.
When the monthly communion service or the cleaning team are not in action, a small but dedicated number of people offer hospitality, with a cup of tea if someone wants to chat, or by NOT breathing down the necks of those who don’t.
We are currently working on making the church more accessible in every way and welcome your ideas and feedback. If you do have any comments or suggestions, email Christine
