The last time I visited Christchurch, Eltham it was to take piano lessons when I was nine or ten years old. I have always been nosey, but never bold enough to visit the rest of the church. You all seem so friendly in your "virtual world" I am encouraged to meet you "in the flesh". You have provided a wonderful taster of what the church looks like and an insight into it's history. You have obviously all worked very hard, not just making this website, but in keeping the church maintained and clean and thriving. I'll just have to visit and find out more!

Having moved away from my home in Eltham a good few years ago I was delighted to find your (very impressive) web-site. I visit Christ Church when I'm visiting my parents, but this is an excellent way for me to keep up to date in between visits.

I just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of the CYA to everyone who came along and supported the Music Evening on Friday, and made it such an enjoyable event. Your generosity allowed us to raise the grand total of £289.16 which was much appreciated. Thanks! P.S. Our annual car washing begins soon, so don't clean your cars for the next few weeks!

I would like to say thankyou to all the parishioners at Christ Church for all their love and prayers given to my brother Christopher throughout his illness. I would also like to thank you for the support that you have given Paul during this difficult time. Christopher is now free from his suffering and I am certain that your prayers helped ease the burden of his illness and gave him the strength to battle on through his illness as he did. God bless - John Rea

Thank you, Fr. Paul, for a lovely tour of the Church. It was very informative. There are other things that I know now that I didn't know before, although I've been attending mass at Christchurch since I was at school.

FROM FR CHRISTOPHER I have been persuaded to join the "modern" society and am now on the web. I have been working with computers since they began but have nevr ventured this far, and I am so grateful to Michael and Edward for making this New Year message possible. Those of who know me will understand what a difficult year this has been for me. I have so much missed my parish ministry that sometimes I feel almost drwan to despair - but that is a sin ins't it? You know that I mean. Fot the last three months I have not been able to speak, something has gone wrong with my voicebox!? - over the next two months that we will be sorted out at Guys, and I also have to have a further CT Scan at St Thomas's. I really hope and pray that after that I may be among you again. Do you have a New Year Resolution? I have. It won't be of immediate help to all, but to all of you are sick or suffering please join with me in trying to promise to say as ofen as you can "Into your hands, Lod, I commend my spirit." That prayer is a complete prayer of trust in God, it is as if we are saying to Him : Lord, I cannot solve this (these) problems, but I am going to leave tyem in your hands. It is something really wonderful that the very Son of God prayed that prayer on the cross - it makes it so poignant and impoertant. Hope to see you all soom, God bless.

I am a regular at 11 am. Love your influence on the music and the web site. What about the round of applause last Sunday! Well deserved. Now - about Father Anthony. Was that a joke? Has to be, surely! He is great and a very good influence on the ex-atheist, now Chritian I drag along each week. I think it would be a very good idea if the Church provided an Alpha course. What about it? It is an excellent lead in for non believers and is being done by all sorts of rather fringe churches.

I've found this website really interesting and will 'visit' regularly. I will take the opportunity to say how much I enjoyed last Sunday's 11.00 Mass, I attend this service each week, and thought that the choir was absolutly beautiful last week (23.7). I've also noticed that there always seems to be a greater response from the congregation when 'old favourite' hymns are chosen! Keep up the good work!

Many additions since I first looked last March. The site certainly has the WOW! factor - if there was a competition of church web sites, this one would surely win. Can we please have the House of Prayer featured - Sister Catherine has some existing photographs taken by Phil Tatt. More people need to know about it and how privileged we are to be able to have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament daily.

Please will you put on the weekly calendar that SVP meets every Monday night at the Priory at 7.30 pm - but not Bank Holiday Mondays. Next meeting 10 April following meeting 8 May. We are always looking for people to help us in our work - mainly visiting the housebound in Eltham. There are other local difficulties needing help - single parent families. Did have a request to help find furniture for refugee family in Greenwich, but passed that on to Greenwich contact.
