Welcome!
Our parish ...
... includes the communities of North Stifford and Stifford
Clays. We are north of the town of Grays in the
south-west of Essex, close to the M25 and Lakeside shopping centre.
One
parish, two churches
St Cedd's Church,

St Mary's Church, High Road,
North Stifford, Essex (left)
The
history of St Mary’s goes back to Norman times, whereas St Cedd’s only
recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. We combine within our
Parish the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.

Entertainment
Our special Easter concert, on Saturday 18th April at 7.30pm in
St Cedd's Church, raised £537 towards Church funds. Many thanks for the Eastertide Entertainment provided by Thurrock
Male Voice Choir with Tim Sentance as guest
soloist, performing on violin and saxophone.
Children
and families ...
... are particularly welcome at our services. At both churches we have an
activity area for very young children, with toys, colouring and books to keep
them occupied.
At St Cedd's Church, Springboard
meets every Sunday morning, providing activities and teaching for children aged
2-16. There is a creche for pre-school children; other children meet in the
church for the first part of the service and then move to the hall for their own
activities.
Our Pram and Buggy group for parents
with pre-school children meets on Tuesday in the Parish Hall.
Family worship
On the first Sunday of each month, we hold a service of
Family Worship at 10.30pm at St Cedd's Church, where the teaching, music and
activities are specifically geared to families and children. Our church worship
band, Revelation, normally plays at this service each month.
