St. Margaret's Church
Our Vision
“To receive God’s love in Christ and to share it with all.”
St Margaret's has witnessed to the love of Christ in this community for over 500 years, and it is a partner church with Warwick Gates Community Church. Both churches are in the same Parish, and are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus and to caring for those in our communities. We welcome all to our services, and please find more details of our Church life on this page.
Our Services:
Sundays:
8am - Holy Communion.
10am - Morning worship. (Communion twice per month.)
6.30pm - Evening worship. (Communion once per month.)
Thursdays we have a service of Holy Communion at 10.30am.
St Margaret’s Church is open every day for prayer.
Baptisms & Weddings
If you wish to arrange a baptism, wedding,reading of banns or any matters arising from these events we would be pleased to welcome you on Monday evenings (except bank holidays) between 6.30-7.30pm in the Chapter House at the back of the church.
Our Activities:
St. Margaret’s is a “Seven day a week” Church, and you will find that we have events for all ages each week. On Sundays at the 10am service there is a Sunday School, and an all age service once a month. We have Rainbow and Brownie uniformed organisations, fellowship/Bible study groups, a Mother’s Union and more going during the week.
The Alpha course is our “Christian discovery channel”. It is an opportunity to enjoy an evening out, a good meal, and to hear and ask questions about the foundational truths of Christianity. Many have found a happy and meaningful faith through attending an Alpha course, and we invite you to come along and see for yourself.
Our Members:
Our members are from all sorts of walks of life, and all ages! We welcome all to come and join us in our life of discovery of the amazing love of God shown us in Jesus Christ! Our Church is led by our rector in partnership with a church council and we are committed to helping each of our members find his/her role in the body of Christ, the Church.
