Welcome
St Mary’s Kemsing has had a congregation meeting on this site since at least 1060 AD.
SNOW: The 3 morning services on 5th February happened as usual. The Woodlands afternoon and Kemsing Evening services are CANCELLED.
We are a community with a diversity of activities and interests.
All ages are welcome at each service. At the 9.15 Communion, children stay in church throughout and are encouraged to take part in the service. The 10.30 Morning Service is either an all-age service, or there is Sunday Special for children who are aged 3+.
Our aim is to be an open and welcoming community, meeting together to worship God in a variety of ways each week.
St Mary’s shares its Vicar with the neighbouring Parish of Woodlands.

Pilgrims together serving a loving and living God
