| St Gabriel's North Acton has been
in existence for a little over 75
years. During that time the clergy
and people have served the local area
in being a tangible Christian presence.
The large and imposing building may
be seen from all about and speaks
of the solidness and unchanging love
that God has for all his people. The
various congregations throughout the
time that St Gabriel's has existed
have worked tirelessly to help extend
the Kingdom of God and show his love
for all in need.
As part of the Mission of Jesus to
the world, we at St Gabriel's offer
to you a warm and encouraging welcome.
We continue helping to build the Kingdom
of God for the community of North
Acton. We welcome into the worshipping
community and hope you will feel welcome,
at ease and in a prayerful situation
with the living God. Our public and
private prayer, proclamation of the
Gospel and pastoral care for all in
need are the main ways in which we
live our faith. We welcome you…

Building the Vision
A Simple course to Stimulate
Excitement about Being the Church
The course consists of three meetings,
one per month April 24th, May 7th and
June 16th with a follow up meeting on
July 7th. All meetings will gather in
the church of a short opening act of
worship. After which we split up into
smaller working groups that will be
accommodated about the church. This
course is designed to stimulate a
process of vision formation, involving
all the laity into thinking creatively
about issues relating to mission. It
aims to encourage a sense of belonging
together; being excited about being
the church, and wanting to keep St
Gabriel's alive. Whatever the outcome,
it should enable a process of renewal
and encourage growth to continue.
How does it work?
A small organising team has been
formed and is at present undergoing
training. Invitations will be issued
to every member of the congregation
and participation is encouraged as
happened when the Archdeacon came to
visit. All members of St Gabriel's are
expected to make every possible effort
to attend.
Each session will have feed back
information and this will be gathered
by the group organising team and after
processing will be presented at the
follow up meeting in July which will
be to the PCC and whole parish.
Please do make a note of these dates,
and make every conceivable effort for
you to attend.
