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 a Family Communion at 10.30am, with our fantastic choir.  During the service there is Junior Church for children and young people as they hear about the love of God and we encourage them in their journey of faith.  After the service we spend time together with refreshments.  

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 Mondays to Saturdays (in the chapel on Thursdays).

We invite you to join us in church for our regular services.
