From the traditional service of Lessons and Carols (Sunday 6:30pm) to the children’s Christingle Crib Service on Christmas Eve (4:00pm), the relaxed joy of Christmas morning (11:00am), and the traditional solemnity of Midnight Mass (11:00pm), there's something for everyone.

With sorrow we learn of the death of Dean Robert, a friend of St Clement’s for many years. We pray for him, for Fletcher, and for their many friends and family.

This Sunday two of Dean Robert’s hymns will be sung at the 10:30am Parish Eucharist. We will sing our patronal hymn, which he wrote for us, on Sunday 17th November.
May he rest in peace and rise with Christ in glory. Well done, good and faithful servant.

St Clement’s looked stunning on Thursday as we gathered for Liz Watson’s Memorial Service, who devoted much of her life to Little Gardens of Sandwich. We look forward to seeing Little Gardens return, in her honour, in 2025. Watch this space for more…

They’re off! Choir members are heading to St George’s Chapel, Windsor, where they have been invited to sing Evensong.
Members of the congregation, and Joe Grogan (on placement from @CoRMirfield , in formation for ordination), join them for what will no doubt be a memorable day.

Sunday was a day of great joy as we celebrated Corpus Christi, the day of thanksgiving for the gift of the Eucharist which is at the heart of our worship, and Rhys was Confirmed by our own Bishop Michael.
The service ended with a Blessing in the Rectory Garden, and a party.
