Love Twydall

A number of years ago, the churches of Twydall decided to work together in a more structure way to make more of a difference in our community.

As a result, the Churches Together in Twydall, namely Rainham Christian Fellowship (Baptist), Twydall Evangelical Church, St Thomas of Canterbury (Catholic Church) and Holy Trinity (Church of England), have been working collectively under the umbrella “Love Twydall” - an initiative born out of trying to build a sense of community and to get neighbours looking out for each other.

This strategy has involved planning and organising several joint events to bless the community. These have ranged in style and focus and have included a street party for the Queen’s 90th birthday, a prayer tent in Twydall Green for the National Weekend of Prayer, lighting of the Twydall Christmas tree and an “experience Easter” trail around the parish.

The churches meet regularly to plan these events and invite each other to activities happening within the individual churches.

The churches also worship together. Three times per year a “United Service” takes place in one of the churches, to which the other congregations are invited. These usually involve a guest speaker from a charity and a good time of praise and worship and as united church. We also come together to worship the World Day of Prayer.
