Welcome
Our next service will be at 10.30 am on Sunday 19 October. This will be our Harvest Festival.
We are invited to bring gifts of non-perishable food, destined for Restos du Coeur, to place before the altar and to stay, after coffee, for a Bring and Share lunch.
We are a mixed group of different nationalities, ages, backgrounds and traditions, uniting together in our diversity as part of the Church of England. We worship in English in the Chapel of the Église Protestante Unie de France in the village of St Pargoire, 10 km north east of Pézenas. St Pargoire is within a 60 minute drive of Montpellier, Béziers, Lodève, Sète and Narbonne. We'd love to welcome you to our services and church events.
Our main church event is the service of Holy Communion, using the order laid down in Common Worship. Our regular services are on the first and third Sundays of the month at 10.30 am, but there are services or events at other times and sometimes at other venues, especially on notable times in the Church's year, such as Easter, Christmas and Lent. Refreshments are served after the service, providing an opportunity to chat and make friends.
How To Find Us
We meet in the Temple of the Église Protestante Unie de France, in the village of Saint Pargoire, postcode 34230, 10 km north east of Pézenas. We are on the south side of the village, near the War Memorial. The address is 3 Rue du Temple, at the junction with Avenue de la Gare, the Saint Pons de Mauchiens road.
There is limited roadside parking in the Avenue. Car parks are only a 5 minute walk away, one next to the school on the road to Saint Pons de Mauchiens, the other along the road opposite the church, at Parking de Saint Guilhem.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is at the heart of our Christian faith. We are all made unique and in the image of God. Jesus came that we might have life and have it in abundance.
The chaplaincy takes its safeguarding obligations seriously. There’s an on-line training programme on the diocesan website here. This is open to everyone and we ask all our members to do the Basic Awareness training.
We have systems in place to ensure that we meet our obligations. If you have any questions or concerns, you should contact our Safeguarding Officer, Ian Thomas, in complete confidence, by email on [email protected] or by phoning him on 06 73 67 55 11. Alternatively, you can speak with Roy, our Chaplain, or one of the Churchwardens.
