WELCOME TO THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST PAUL

Grange-over-Sands
(Charity No. 1136108)

There has been a place of /Christian worship here for 10 years. We come to this holy place to offer our lives to our Father God who has made His love known to us in Jesus Christ His Son. Here we bring our thanksgiving, our joys and sorrows, our hopes and fears. Here we seek His guidance and strength that we might live lives worthy of His love. We hope that you will join us and find our worship helpful and enjoyable.

St Paul’s doors (LA11 6BD) are open for regular Sunday worship at 11 am, and the Fell Church (LA11 6AN) has two services each month at 9.30 am on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. A warm welcome awaits you!

St Paul’s is also open each day from 9 am to 4 pm for visitors and/or private meditation. There is a prayer corner with a ‘tree’ where prayers can be requested. A bible and suggested reading matter are also available.

Morning prayer is said Monday and Tuesday at 9 am to which everyone is welcome. The mid-week Wednesday service at 10 am offers Holy Communion, and on the third Wednesday of each month a joint service is held with our Methodist friends, the venue alternating between St Paul’s and the Methodist Church.

Refreshments are served after all services, providing an opportunity for fellowship.

The weekly pewsheet and readings are emailed out each Friday to those with access to the internet.

This month the magazine covers September and October and is now available, and the Annual Report and Accounts for 2023 have been printed and include reports from our various church activities and groups, with the 2023 Accounts.

At St Paul’s we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance.

A new beginning in the life of St Paul’s and the Fell Churches

We welcome the Revd David Wilmot and his wife Margaret to Grange, as be begins his ministry with us and with St Peter’s Field Broughton with Lindale.

Some of David’s sermons and articles are available on his BLOG: davidmwilmot.wordpress.com

St Paul’s and the Fell Church are now part of the new Benefice of Grange-over-Sands and Field Broughton with Lindale. The Cartmel Peninsula Team Ministry has been dissolved, and the other parishes on the Peninsula now form 3 new benefices:

Allithwaite and Flookburgh
Cartmel, with 0.5 PiC paid by the Diocese and 0.5 PiC paid by Cartmel PCC
Leven Valley (Finsthwaite, Haverthwaite, Staveley), with 0.5 PiC

We now begin to move forward in the life of our church within a mission community that encompasses the whole of the Cartmel peninsula, including Anglicans, Methodists, the United Reformed Church, and friends in other denominations.

The Parish Church of St Paul belongs to the Windermere Deanery of the Carlisle Diocese in Cumbria – for latest news, see

Also belonging to the Parish is the little Fell Church situated at the top of Grange on the side of the Fell road leading over to Cartmel.

It was originally built in 1907 so the small community who lived in the cottages in higher Grange had a place for regular worship.

Regular services at St Paul’s include Candlemas; Mothering Sunday, Harvest Festival followed by a Parish Lunch; All Souls Service; and a Remembrance Day service for the town.

The Patronal Festival commemorating the conversion of St Paul is celebrated jointly with the Fell Church, followed by lunch.

St Paul’s is modern-traditional in its worship, with songs led by the choir. Our Service of the Word on the fourth Sunday offers the opportunity to explore different styles of worship.

Bless, O Lord, the work of your Church in this place.
Here may your presence be known, your name be praised,
your gospel proclaimed, your grace received.

So may your people be united in love,
bound together in fellowship,
and joyful in your service.

Through Jesus Christ Your Son our Lord.
Amen
