The Anglican Church of

St. Thomas, Kefalas.

​

We are the only Anglican church on Crete. However, all Christian denominations are welcome at our services. We are situated within the Apokoronas area of Crete, east of Chania, in the picturesque rural village of Kefalas.

 

We hope that this website will guide you around the Parish - our worship, events and organisations and contact points for any further information.

​

At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.

​

Good Saturday morning!

Tomorrow, 9 November 2025,

we gather at 10:45 am EET

for the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Souda Bay Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery.  

​

Please join us. 

There will not be an online stream of the service, as we will not be meeting at the Tabernacle. 

 

​As always I pray that you and your loved ones have a blessèd week.​

TOUCHING THE TONGAS

 

Vicky Graham (Tony Lane's niece) leads this ministry in Zimbabwe among the Tonga people. We support this through a portion of our charitable giving from church income.

 

Tony recently sent me the latest email updates, which you can read via their MailChimp platform: a link to the April 2025 Newsletter is here, and the October 2025 newsletter here.

Tombola

At the back of the church we have a box for tombola donations.

If you can donate a bottle or some other appropriate thing for a tombola raffle for our next fundraiser it would be most appreciated!

Thank you for supporting the ministry of St Thomas's.

Of course, you may also make a donation to the work of the church by using our new contactless "POS" reader with any debit or credit card.   ​​

PrayerNet

Do you know of someone who could use some prayer?

 

We have an international network of people we call PrayerNet, and its members pray for the sick and other concerns, and give thanks for recovery and other good news.

 

Contact Sue Whitehouse at suewhitehouse1808@gmail.com if you wish to join those of us who receive regular updates and pray, or to make requests.
