Read what some of last year's participants had to say -

“16 people returned, one family of three who had been away for more than five years, responding to a personal invitation.” St Margaret, Rainham

“Back to Church Sunday encourages the entire congregation to be actively part of increasing our Church family.”
St Matthew, Borstal

“Three children came through the young people’s mid-week clubs: it was the first time they’ve come to Church.” St Aidan, Gravesend

“The ‘Children & Youth Panel’ met to arrange the service and jobs were allocated to different people so that on the day the service flowed smoothly with the children and young people taking a full part.” St John, Higham
