SCM Connect

To those of us who worship here, it is a lovely place to hold services and say prayers. There are about two hundred of us, a Church of England congregation following the tradition of beautiful, well ordered, but not over-elaborate, worship with classical English church music.St Mary's is the oldest and largest parish church in South East Essex, UK. Founded in the seventh century, with remains of late Saxon walls, twelfth century pillars, fifteenth century south aisle and tower, and an impressive array of stained glass, including a window thought to be by the German artist Dí_rer, it has to be seen to be fully appreciated.We see ourselves as a company of Christ's people seeking to deepen our own faith in the Lord Jesus and to spread that faith more widely. In these activities, our church building is both an opportunity and an inspiration.If you would like more information about our services or to meet the community that worships here please contact us.
