Welcome to the Parish Church of St. Paul's, Woodhouse Eaves where the Holy Eucharist is at the very heart of our worship and the life of the church.   We are a church that is inclusive and who welcomes all. Our mission is to make Jesus Christ present in the hearts of others and to proclaim His love to the community we are called to serve.  We are a growing, young and lively congregation of all ages who seek God's will in an evermore challenging and demanding world.

 "Just come as you are"   Whether you step through the doors of this ancient and beautiful place of worship to seek God, or, to celebrate,  or to mourn, you are most welcome and will always find a warm and loving congregation and we look forward to meeting you at any of our services.

St. Mary in the Elms Church has a long history stretching back to its foundation in 1338, when when the Beaumont's of Beaumanor constructed a chapel dedicated to St. Mary.

The Church has a very welcoming congregation and strong links within the village of Woodhouse.

Village residents support the Church and the two Church Wardens by acting as bell ringers, flower arrangers, brass cleaners and supporting the Church Summer Fete. There is a warm feeling of pride in the Church and it's place in the community, after the services parishioners gather for a glass of sherry as a finale to the morning service.

There are also strong ties with the armed forces stretching back to World War Two, when the Royal Signals Regiment was stationed at Beaumanor. These close ties are maintained today and the Church has established new links with the Welbeck Defence 6th Form College, which is situated within the village.

The Church also has links to Rawlins Community College (one of the few Church Secondary Schools in Leicestershire) and a representative on the Governing Body of the College.

Over the last few years a number of local choirs have also performed concerts within the Church, which have been well attended by local residents and congregational members. There has also been a very successful funding campaign operated in 2011 to facilitate funds for St. Mary's and the PCC is very active in the management of the Church, including the new Community Hall which is built on church land and is utilised for many church social events as well as other activities.

St. Mary's has HISTORY (including a "minor" Royal Wedding held in the 1920's) and TRADITION and combines this with a caring, prayerful atmosphere, set in a beautiful place of worship. Like our neighbouring county of Rutland it is indeed "MULTUM IN PARVO".
