St. Paul's, Newtown

St Paul’s Church is a small building, but with a big heart.

Nestled at the top of a short track next to the old school, the congregation is drawn from farms and homes over a wide area, especially for services like Harvest and Christmas, when it can be standing-room only. There is a family feel to the worship, and you are sure of a warm welcome.

On Sunday 31st March we had our Easter Daybreak service – and thankfully it didn’t rain. A congregation of 30 were in church before dawn, and stood to watch the sunrise (albeit it was a somewhat misty morning). The finest view from a church in the dicese, according to one visiting bishop. Thanks to Sharon and Heather for the photographs!
