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…

SCelebrating 79 years at St Gabriel’s
Since this church was dedicated 79 years ago many people have joined us and much has happened to serve the community – this is what some people have said about their connection with this church.
“I remember an extremely warm welcome.”
“Christened in the hut while thechurch was being built.”

“It makes a difference to have a large spiritual family.”

“I’ve been here a long time; I like coming.”

“When we returned from honeymoon, Fr Keith hushed the church … and everyone prayed for us. We felt very loved.”

“We’ve become so much a part of this church & community.”

“I found my spiritual home at St Gabriel’s.”

“I was very warmly welcomed.”

“St Gabriel’s was always friendly.”

“We always look forward to Sunday Worship. Thank you all you have changed our lives.”

“The diamond Jubilee [in 1991] was a great occasion. Some 300 guests attended … the refreshments were magnificent!”

 

Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who made the St Gabriel’s Proms such a wonderful evening – especially to David Carter who entertained us with such talent and to everyone who organised the church and the refreshments for the evening.
