St Laurence

Welcome to St Laurence Church, Winslow. Our worship is a mixture of styles. We have a large all-age choir and an enthusiastic congregation who are warm and welcoming. You are welcome to come along to any of our services or events, just as you are.

We celebrate a choral Holy Communion service each Sunday at 09.30am. On the third Sunday this is an all-age service with assistance from the children, and followed by bacon and sausage breakfast rolls!  A vibrant children's group 'vestry club' meets during the service most weeks. 

Evening services tend to be more quiet and contemplative in nature, either in St Laurence's or in our sister church St Mary's Church, Addington. Please see our Facebook Page for more details of these services. 

We have a short, half-hour midweek said communion service including prayers for the community at Midday each Wednesday, following our regular coffee morning in the adjacent St Laurence Room situated on the town's main square.

We are a fully inclusive church and are fully welcoming of young people, families, and older adults, as well as those with protected characteristics and members of the LGBTQI+ community. Our church is served by ramps into and out of the building for wheelchair users and we have installed a new sound system with improved loop services. We have a servery at the back of the church which serves refreshments after each service, and toilets and baby changing facilities in the adjacent St Laurence Rooms.
