Welcome to Shamley Green and to our parish church Christ Church
Christ Church has been inviting people to be part of our Christian family since 1864. And like all extended families we are made up of individuals from every generation, background, outlook and experience. We warmly welcome you to join us, be it on a regular basis or for a one-off visit or special occasion.
Our Church is open every day for private, individual prayer and for worship on Sunday Morning 8am & 10am (see below for details).
As part of our mission to serve the wider community in Shamley Green and Rowly we also hope you will find the links and information about local organisations, clubs and other groups helpful. If you have made the parish your home or if you work here or if you are visiting we hope you will make the most of what our friendly and caring community has to offer.
If you are new to our parish or have a particular enquiry, please contact us at info@shamleygreen.church

Prayer
God of all people, from every tribe and language;
you call true witnesses who sing your praise,
live your grace and work for peace:
may we share their faith
and know our need for you
that we might be a blessing to the hunger of your world;
through Jesus Christ, whose body we are. Amen.
(Steven Shakespeare ‘Prayers for an Inclusive Church’)

December Messy Church
A musical Advent!
From Sarah McKenna: back by popular demand (possibly) I have created a new online musical advent calendar. For a donation of £10 (to be shared between Christ Church Shamley Green and myself), 24 Christmas Classics can be yours. Click on the window to reveal a new piece every day (no peeking allowed). Will your favourite be there? Please see the link below for more information and to make your donation. Please remember to send an email to reflectionstrings@gmail.com after making your donation so that I can send you a link to the calendar (this is not an automatic process, apologies I am not that computer literate). Thank you for your support.
