Sacred Space - an hour of quietness to ponder the Christ, Light of the World, who comes to us in these darkest days and waits for us to let him into our lives and transform us by his presence. You can pop in at any point between 7 and 8pm on Thursdays in December before Christmas.

At 7:45pm there will be led prayers and a reflection on an individual in the biblical record, whose faith shone out like a candle in the dark, and through whom God sought to guide us.

St Matthew's, Wookey

Welcome to our page on A Church Near You!

St Matthew's Church is a beautiful church in the village of Wookey, near Wells. We are part of a group of 3 churches and 4 parishes, known as a benefice, which are looked after by Revd Jan Shellard-James.

There are services almost every Sunday, except during some months on the third Sunday of the month. Also if there is a 5th Sunday in a month, a service might take place at a different church in the benefice. There is also a weekly Holy Communion service which is held every Wednesday. You are very welcome to come to any of our services or events, and details of these can be found on this website, or on our own website www.chwchurches.co.uk There are also more details about the this church and the benefice on our website.

If you have any enquiries about baptisms, christenings, weddings, funerals or memorials please get in touch with us.

We look forward to welcoming you to our church!
