We welcome you to the Church of St Antony’s, Wentworth Way.
Join us for Cafe Church on Sundays at 3pm. A relaxed worship service with afternoon tea and refreshments. Singing, prayer, Holy Cmmunion and time to get to know Jesus better. We also hold a service of Holy Communion twice a month at 2 pm on a Monday afternoon. On the second Monday of the month it is "Eucharist with a song" and on the fourth Monday we have "Said Eucharist". Both services are followed by refreshments.

WE STAND AND LIFT UP OUR HANDS…
I dislike
doing actions to songs. Not all action songs but many of them.
It’s for a
good reason. I’m usually at the front where people can see me and I have both
hopeless memory and little coordination and so I struggle to maintain a series
of hand and body movements throughout a whole song.
Sitting here on 17th May, I have been Rector of All Saints and St Anthony’s for six days! In six days God had made the heavens and earth, all the vegetation, seas, mountains, sky and birds and animals, men and women and decided to rest. All Creation in fact. Not being God, I may have to manage my expectations….

quotes from Thomas Hardy's poem "The Darkling Thrush"...
An aged thrush, frail,
gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling
his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
Hardy wonders what could possibly be the cause of "carolings of such
ecstatic sound". Nothing in these bleak surroundings could have prompted
such a joyful outburst. The only conclusion he could reach was that the bird's singing must have been
inspired by "Some blessed hope, whereof he knew and I was
unaware"....
If all you see around you feels full of hopelessness, turn your eyes upon Jesus
Christ, the hope of the world. It will bring a completely fresh perspective to
life!

Jeremy says, "Here we are again, in a season of waiting. Advent is a time of waiting, preparation, penance, anticipation. And what are we waiting for? We are waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ! "
