Isn’t it fascinating how places of worship can feel like families? Here at St Katharine with St Bartholomew, it’s more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a vibrant community where children call the adults “uncles” and “aunties”, reflecting the warmth and closeness of the early Church. Despite the busy lives of the parishioners, St Katharine with St Bartholomew strives to be a haven, a place where faith and fellowship intertwine. Sunday services start a little later to accommodate those hectic schedules. Imagine the aroma of coffee and tea filling the air before the service, as people steal a quiet moment to chat and connect. Then, the space truly comes alive with a blend of contemporary and traditional hymns, with lay people leading much of the service. It’s a heartwarming testament to their faith and involvement. You can almost hear the echoes of children confidently reciting readings, their voices adding to the rich tapestry of worship. Afterwards, the chatter continues, spilling over into lunchtime, sometimes with shared meals, strengthening the bonds of this unique family united by faith under the roof of St Katharine with St Bartholomew.
