Prayer Requests

At St. Giles there are opportunities for private and communal prayer, whether it is lighting a candle or praying with others on Sunday morning, we believe God hears our prayers and answers them as may be best for us.

If there are particular issues that you would like prayed for then please let us know. In particular we pray every Sunday for those who are sick and for those who have passed away.

Prayer Group

Sundays 8:30am

Thank you to those who have joined in our Prayer Group which meet 'at home' on Sunday at 8.30 a.m.  Please let me know if you participated in this so I can let the ‘group’ know

If there is somebody in your circle of family and friends who could
benefit from our prayers, or if you have suffered a recent bereavement please forward the relevant name to the Parish Office.

Harvest Foodbank Donations

Sunday 4th October 10:00am

As winter approaches, food poverty remains a real concern across Bromley and St Giles will be supporting Bromley Foodbank again this year.

Please bring along any donations to the Harvest Festival Service on 4th October. Please note Bromley Foodbank can only accept unrefrigerated, undamaged, long-life food items and toiletries in their original packaging.


Harvest Evening Service

Sunday 4th October 6:30pm

Our Sunday evening Harvest Service is going to be different this year. The focus will be on a wonderful poem by the English poet John Clare entitled The Nightingale’s Nest. I’ve chosen this poem as it has much to inspire in terms of Harvest, the environment and our relationship with Mother Nature.

The service will of course be lead by our wonderful choir and refreshments will be served afterwards. I do hope you will be able to attend this service if you are free.
