About Us
Our centuries-
Although the parish and this part of north Somerset is rich in history, with 13th-
St Paul’s is part of the Benefice by the Sea, linked with Wick St Lawrence, and led by our vicar, the Rev Gail Thomas. It is within Locking Deanery, part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, and the parish stretches over Worlebury Hill to the edge of Weston town, to the east embracing part of Worle and to Sand Bay and the Severn Sea, running out to the west.
Special atmosphere
Our church family is drawn from across this area and from further afield – worshippers who are inspired by the special atmosphere of the church and its surroundings, by the friendliness of the people they meet and pray with, and the wide range of our services here.
Our Sunday services are core to church life and marriages, baptisms, and funerals
take place during the year. House groups meet for further Christian study as well
and there are coffee mornings to enjoy. Whether a long-

Easy way to help our funds
Easyfundraising is an easy way to raise money for our churches, as it donates money to the church each time you buy online from selected stores. You basically download the app onto your computer and each time you use one of these sites it takes you through the link for your church. So far £1,770 has been raised.
This is the app for St Paul’s http://efraising.org/BfcHgZsz n7

Prayer requests
St Paul’s first Easter Fair set the scene for the approach of Holy Week, a joyous event at the church hall that attracted visitors of all ages and raised more than £500 for church funds.
Church supporters arranged a variety of stalls offering Jewellery, fancy goods, toiletries and clothing while others were kept busy offering cakes and refreshments. Visitors also tried their luck at a prize competition.
Our pictures capture the scene.
Enjoying all the fun of the church fair
May is a time of excitement in the church.
We are still in the Easter period until 40 days after Easter when we celebrate Ascension Day, which this year is on 14 May, the celebration of when Jesus left the Earth in bodily form.
Ascensiontide
Thereafter follows a ten-
This is a time which since May 2016 has been set aside as Thy Kingdom Come, a global prayer movement that invites Christians from around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus.
Encouragement
Each person is encouraged to pray for five people who do not yet know God to come to know him.
You can pray in whichever way you like, but resources provided on the Thy Kingdom Come website can help with this. As churches I am sure we can commit to this!
I wonder who your five people will be?
With every blessing
Rev Gail
