The Benefice of Bentley Common, Kelvedon Hatch and Navestock

Three different churches worshipping one God

 
 
Welcome to the website of the Benefice of St Paul's Bentley Common, St Nicholas' Kelvedon Hatch and St Thomas' Navestock. The three churches are located in a pleasant semi-rural area of Essex between Brentwood and Chipping Ongar. The website contains a lot of information about the three churches and will give you a flavour of the spiritual life here. We hope you will find the information you are looking for and maybe even visit us. You will be very welcome. All three churches are open to the general public every day from about 9.30am until 5.00pm for quiet prayer and reflection. You can leave prayer requests and sign the visitors' book.

Verse of the Week

"Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine. You are the branches." 

John 15.4


Prayer of the Week

O God our protector, by whose mercy the world turns safely into darkness and returns again to light; we give into your hands our unfinished tasks, our unsolved problems and our unfulfilled hopes; for you alone are our sure defence and bring us lasting peace in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
