Welcome to St Paul's church, Tadley, St Luke's, Pamber Heath and St Peter's, Tadley Old Church.
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2:46-47
February - the month ahead
Message from Rev Steve McKay
Rector - Benefice of Tadley with Pamber Heath and Silchester
Moderator - Churches Together Around Tadley
During February is the time between Epiphany and the beginning of Lent, which begins with Candlemass on 2nd February. This will be reflected in our first Sunday services that week.
Later in February many will celebrate Valentine’s Day by sending cards and flowers. This commercial marking of the day seems far removed from St. Valentine who was a Christian saint and was imprisoned, beheaded, and buried on 14th February 269 AD. He helped persecuted Christians and married Christian couples. While in prison he prayed for his jailer’s daughter and her blindness was healed. On the day of his execution, he left her a note signed ‘Your Valentine.’ We have a special Valentine’s Party at St. Mary’s on 14th February and you are invited! More details inside the newsletter link below.
Also, in February we will begin to update our electoral roll for each parish. Across the Church of England, we are being asked to start from scratch, so even if you are already on the electoral roll you will need to re-register. Further information on how to do this will follow this month.
As we look ahead to Lent, we will be joined by Bishop Philip on Sunday 30th March for a benefice service with confirmation. As we continue into the new year it’s a great time to consider confirmation. If now feels like the right time to explore this, do speak with any of the clergy team.

Holy Communion at St Paul's Tadley
First, Third, and Fourth Sundays 9am
This is a great way to start your Sunday and is normally finished by 9:30 am leaving you the rest of the day free. This is a fantastic opportunity to pray for friends and family and be fed in word and sacrament as you begin a new week.
Cafe Worship
First Sunday 10.15am
A new café style service at St. Paul’s led by Steve which will vary between morning worship and Holy Communion, but always a time of eating together with worship, discussion and fellowship. Join us from 10:15 on the 1st Sunday of every month for café worship.
Midweek Communion at St Luke's
Every Wednesday 10am
Do join Cathy for Holy Communion every Wednesday at St. Luke’s at 10 am. Friendly, relaxed communion for those who need a bit of space with God in the week. Pop your head in the door and make yourself at home.
Sunday Worship at St Paul's Tadley
Sundays 10.15am
Every Sunday (except 2nd in the month when we have Messy Church at 10am), we have a great family-oriented, accessible service for all with music by our band.
There is also an amazing children’s group in the hall from 10:15 am with Messy Church-style stories and crafts. So the kids can have fun, while you enjoy the service.
Good tea, coffee, and cake are served after the service.
The Mission of our Churches
Faith. Love. Community.
Our churches are gatherings of people from Tadley, Pamber Heath and beyond that meet together to thank God for His love, encourage one another in faith and support each other in sharing God's love with our neighbours.
Our vision is to love both our God and neighbours. St Paul helps us to understand the nature of this love; patient, kind, without envy, free, selfless, trusting, hoping, truthful, and perservering.
We welcome everybody, regardless of your history, beliefs or lifestyle to join us in the pursuit of God and the common good.
Three Buildings ... One Church
The church is the people; our buildings are great places to meet each other, celebrate special occasions or just drop in to pray. People have laughed and loved, wept and prayed in these buildings for over 800 years.
St Paul's and St Luke's buildings are fully accessible. We regret that, due to its age and location, St Peter's is not wheelchair accessible, and is not equipped with a hearing loop.
