St Paul’s is part of the Benefice by the Sea, linked with Wick St Lawrence, and led by our vicar, the Rev Gail Thomas. It is within Locking Deanery, part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, and the parish stretches over Worlebury Hill to the edge of Weston town, to the east embracing part of Worle and to Sand Bay and the Severn Sea, running out to the west.
Special atmosphere
Our church family is drawn from across this area and from further afield – worshippers who are inspired by the special atmosphere of the church and its surroundings, by the friendliness of the people they meet and pray with, and the wide range of our services here.
Our Sunday services are core to church life and marriages, baptisms, and funerals
take place during the year. House groups meet for further Christian study as well
and there are coffee mornings to enjoy. Whether a long-

New monthly film club
They came, they saw and they conquered….the tower!
A host of locals and holidaymakers from far and wide arrived at church for the annual Tower, Tours and Tea event, held in bright sunlight to the delight of all.
Visitors of all ages – some in their Eighties – climbed the 66 twisting tower steps to view the Welsh hills, the north Somerset coastline and, maybe in the distance, spot their cat in the back garden!
Many heard more about St Paul’s, and its role in the history of the parish, on guided tours of the church before taking tea in the hall, with some later commenting on social media about the amazingly tasteful cakes.
The event, which raised around £600 for church funds and included a craft sale and prize competitions, was organised by Deb and Mike Low with enthusiastic help from church supporters.

A fine hall to hold that special event
October is a time when the nights are drawing in and we start to appreciate the odd warm days that we have.
