Welcome to The Six

 

We are a group of six churches in the countryside between Sittingbourne and Rainham in North Kent. As Church of England parish churches for our six villages, we are here for everyone, and we would love to get to know you.

We share a vision of communicating the love of God in creative ways to those around us.

Whether you're looking for a new church, exploring faith for the first time, or just looking around, you would be very welcome to join us for one of our services, at one of our groups and activities, or just for a chat. You can find contact details for the clergy here.

Christian Aid week - every year 200,000 people knock on doors, run events, clean cars, pray and lobby government for a week in May, all of it to help some of the poorest people in the world. Christian Aid week runs from 13-19 May and our churches are all taking part. Find out here  how you can join in and help people in poverty get themselves out.

Life is so busy these days - school, work, shopping, kids activities. The Six runs a regular monthly Community Cafe called The Well offering a really good, homecooked lunch for £2.50, together with activities for kids, a space for teenagers, free real coffee & cake and the Sunday papers. The Well will next be open on Sunday, 13 May, when it will include a Swap Shop - bring something you don't want any more, and swap it for something you do.


Worship, prayer, music, silence, these are the ingredients of our monthly evening service, 6@8. It's a bit different to 'normal' church - it's more informal and everyone is involved, the music is more mixed and we try to make it very hands on - so there might be a film or a chance to pray in creative ways or to share our thoughts on a Bible passage. It used to be called 6@6, but from May we're moving the service to Tuesdays at 8pm - so now it's 6@8. The next service is on Tuesday 29 May in St Mary's church, Newington.

Join the conversation - being a Christian is about the whole of life, not just an hour on Sunday mornings, and our blog offers the chance to join in regular reflections on what it means to be a Christian in the modern world. Four bloggers from our churches post their thoughts, ideas, experiences and reflections and you are invited to join the conversation by adding your thoughts and responses.

Jesus told his disciples to spread his message of good news to the four corners of the world, and they did what he asked of them - there are now more than 2 billion Christians in almost every country in the world. But the church looks different in each of those countries. Clare Amos, who lives in Newington works in the worldwide church and writes letters from the world church to give us an insight into Christian faith around the world.
