Welcome
We
are a Church of England parish with churches
in the two villages of Blean and Tyler Hill
which lie in ancient Kent woodland between
the cathedral city of Canterbury and the
seaside town of Whitstable.
We
describe ourselves as an ‘Open Door’
parish: our newsletter carries that title.
We welcome everyone - Christians of all
denominations and others who want to begin
to explore the idea of faith - to come and
worship with us, and we encourage everyone
we come in contact with to open the doors
of their hearts to the love of God
We
think the Living
Church part of our site is the most
important. We have made a commitment to
develop our work for God in four areas:
worship, pastoral care, education, and outreach
and mission, and you can find out more about
how we are trying to live the life we believe
Jesus wants us to by clicking into that
section.
We
know that people will come to – or
come across – our website for a variety
of reasons.
Some of you will be interested in the history
of our churches, and others interested in
our patron saints, Cosmus and Damian, and
Francis of Assissi. You can find out more
in the Parish
History part of the site.
Others
will want to know about our services and
activities, including the arrangements for
baptisms, marriages and funerals, and the
section headed The
Parish Today is there to help you. If
you want to get more of an in-depth picture
of a slice of our parish life, have a look
at our Special Events area.
Whatever
you want from the site, we hope you will
find it here, and you are, of course, welcome
to Contact Us.
We ask you to say a prayer for us as we
will do for you as one of our many visitors.
Our
services are as follows: 8am said Holy Communion,
10am Parish Eucharist and the monthly Evensong
at 6.15pm.
