Welcome.

St Thomas’ Church is part of a group of 4 churches served by our Rector (currently a vacancy) and a small team of clergy. Each church has one or more church wardens, together with a group of volunteers who work within the church and the wider community. 

We invite you to share in our worship, friendship and  activities. We believe that people of all ages can join in and benefit from the opportunities for Christian discipleship and fellowship made possible in this parish.

If you are not a church-goer, or if you haven't been to church for some time, come and try it for yourself, you may be pleasantly surprised. You will certainly be joining people who feel that church gives enrichment to their lives. We assure you of a warm welcome.

On the third Sunday at Hanwood at 4.30pm we celebrate with a service of Songs of Praise. We usually meet in Vine Close Community Centre. This is an informal service in which people have the opportunity to choose their favourite hymn and say why they have chosen it.
We also have a reading from the Bible, a short reflection and prayers. The service lasts about 45 minutes. Refreshments are provided after the service. 

Do come and sing along with us. If you'd like to sing a particular hymn, please get in touch with our curate Freddie Strong who'd love to hear from you. revfreddiestrong@gmail.com
