Welcome

Welcome to St. Nicholas Website. We hope you find what you are looking for. Please do not hesitate to contact us! We will be very pleased to hear from you.

God bless.

St. Nicholas Parish Church stands at the heart of the community of Newport. Its location is very central to the town centre. We are pleased to serve the whole town of Newport throughout each year in differing ways.

Our mission statement is putting Jesus at the heart of community through worship, love and sharing hope.

There is much to discover. Much about God. Much about ourselves. Much about the Community of Newport and Shropshire. Much about the history of this beautiful building that goes back almost a thousand years.

Every Sunday is special. We have special Civic / Community times of Worship throughout the year.

The church is always open a quarter of an hour before services and you are very welcome to join us in fellowship with refreshments after each service.

The Church and town work carefully and successfully together in many and various ways, and have done so for many years.

Safeguarding: St Nicholas Church is committed to Safeguarding and has adopted the National and Diocesan Safeguarding Policies. Our safeguarding policy for adults and children is available here. Our Safeguarding Coordinator is William Pickering and can be contacted on 07402 861571.

Many visitors grace this beautiful church which serves the community of Newport.

It is a place of true spiritual beauty.

You are most welcome!

Interview Eucharist Service

Members of the congregation and the wider community are warmly invited to attend an Interview Eucharist Service to be held at St Nicholas Church, Newport, on Thursday, 30th April.

Please gather from 9.45am, with the service beginning at 10.00am. The service will be led by the Bishop of Shrewsbury, and the candidate will preach.

This service forms part of the formal interview process for the appointment of a new Rector and, as such, will be conducted in confidence. During the service, the individual concerned will be referred to only as “the candidate”, and their identity will not be disclosed.

We kindly ask all those attending to respect the confidential nature of the occasion. Under no circumstances should photographs be taken or any audio or video recording be made, whether in whole or in part. Refreshments will be served after the service, and all are welcome to stay.

Your support through your presence and prayers at this important stage in the life of the benefice would be greatly appreciated.

Vacancy

We are currently in a period of vacancy and keep the following prayer close in our hearts and minds:

Almighty God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the church is governed and sanctified, hear our prayer for our parish and the congregation of St. Nicholas.

Give us discernment to recognise the gifts and ministries you have given to us together with the grace to exercise them in harmony with one another and for the good of all.

May we have patience in awaiting the appointment and arrival of a new leader for our parish, and give support to those responsible for choosing that person.

Finally, may we trust you, the God of faithfulness and generosity, to guide us through this time of transition and change, so that we are ready to enter a new chapter in the life of our parish for the glory of your Name and the furtherance of your kingdom. This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
