About us

 

 

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

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.  

Sunday services

Our Sunday services are normally held at 10.30am at St Cedd's (except 5th Sunday of the month) and at 11.15am at St Mary's (except 1st Sunday of the month). Click here for more details. 

tide 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.
