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.

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…
