Services

We have resumed our socially-distanced services at 9 am each Sunday. In line with the current law, please wear a mask and do not interact with those from outside your household while inside the building. Other instructions will be given as required.

Easter services:
Good Friday: Hour at the Cross - 2 pm
Easter Sunday: Communion - 9 am

If you are unable to join us in-person at St Mary's, please join our Zoom service with St. Nicholas Bathampton at 10:45 every Sunday. For more details, see here.

Recordings of previous sermons can be found here.

Visitors and newcomers are very welcome. We are usually a small congregation in a decent-sized building so there is plenty of space, even with social distancing. But we do currently have a limit to how many we can accommodate safely and legally. If you're not already a member of St Mary's Claverton, whether you normally go to St Nick's or another church or nowhere, please contact Jonty in advance just to check we don't have a sudden rush of visitors all on the same day (particularly as we are re-opening before most other churches in Bath). We would love to see you. We haven't had to turn anyone away yet and, if we do, you can be front of the queue next week!

Hello and welcome to our church. If you are thinking of visiting us, we have a page for you to find out more a bit about our services.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those thinking of visiting us, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

St Nicholas’ meets at the parish church by the canal bridge for our Sunday Service starting at 10:45am. We meet outside the church for coffee from 10:15 (served from Heni's barge on the canal - just beyond the humpback bridge). We are no longer operating a booking system, there's plenty of space for anyone who wants to come.

Plan your journey:

Open Google Maps

Parking: You can park (free) for up to 3 hours at the George pub next to the church. If you're not visiting the pub, it is courteous to use the right-hand side of the car park.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a disabled toilet available.

Getting Connected

To receive email updates about changes to our services due to Coronavirus, or to sign up to receive general information about church events, please join our mailing list (this will take you to an external website run by MailChimp).

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have two groups that meet on Zoom on Tuesday or Wednesday. Check out Home Groups to find out more, or we can put you in touch with a home group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
