Welcome to St Mary's Shortlands
St Mary's is the Church of England parish church of Shortlands, Bromley.
The church sits in the centre of the parish of Shortlands: it is surrounded by lovely gardens that are open to the community for play and quiet reflection: a celebration of God's love in creation. The doors are open every morning for quiet prayer and there are many activities as well as worship where everyone is warmly welcomed.
Our main service on Sundays is Family Communion at 10.30am, with Junior Church to introduce young people to the love of God in Christ. There are refreshments and fellowship afterwards.
There are activities during the week for all ages and on Wednesday mornings the Community Cafe is a buzzing place for folks to meet over conversation and cake.
The church is open for private prayer 9am - 12noon Tuesdays to Saturdays (in the chapel on Thursdays).
We are now 'in vacancy' and are currently recruiting for a new vicar. Our parish profile describes what we are seeking in the next vicar of St Mary's and our vision and mission set out our aims. In the meantime, we will continue with the church's normal programme of services and activities.
We invite you to join us in church for our regular services.
