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.
