SERVICE TIMES

The main Sunday service is at 10.30 and lasts a little over an hour. It is always a eucharist (a service of Holy Communion). Children stay to worship with the adults on the first Sunday of each month when the service is more informal.

There is also an evening service at 6 pm. Most Sundays it is a service Evensong from the Book of Common Prayer, a traditional hour long service of prayers, psalms, bible readings and hymns with a sermon. This service takes place in the Lady Chapel (the entrance is through the little garden on the South Lambeth Road side of the building).

On the first Sunday of each month the evening service is a Eucharist of Wholeness and healing when we pray both for those who are ill and also pray for wholeness in all our lives. This service lasts about an hour. It takes place in the Lady Chapel. On Tuesdays each week there is a Eucharist at 8 am in the Lady Chapel. This is a quiet, reflective service that lasts 25 minutes.

Once a month there is a youth worship session shared with the neighbouring parish. Details are usually given on the 'what's on' page

Services for major feast days and Christmas and Easter are always advertised near the time - see 'what's on'

BAPTISMS AND SERVICES FOLLOWING THE BIRTH OF A CHILD

If you live in the parish you are entitled to be baptised yourself or have your children baptised in the church. Check the map of the parish to see if you are in the parish. Baptism is also available to members of this church community who don't live within the parish boundary.

As well as baptism, it is possible to have a baby naming ceremony eight days after the birth of a baby or to have a thanksgiving service for the birth of a child at a later date. The baby naming ceremony comes from the Nigerian tradition and echoes the Biblical pattern that Jesus' family practiced of naming the child eight days after birth, whilst giving thanks for the safe delivery.

To discuss baptism, or services of thanksgiving, please talk to one of the clergy or email us at admin@stanneandallsaints.org.uk .

WEDDINGS

You may be married in this church if you live within the parish boundary, and neither you nor your partner has been married before. If that does not apply to you, it may be possible to have your wedding here, but there are rules we have to follow if you do not live within the parish boundary or one of you has previously been married. See the map of the Parish. If you live within the parish boundary and are being married in a Church of England church elsewhere, then this is the church where your banns of marriage should be read. Banns are normally read for the first three weeks of the month before the marriage takes place. To arrange either the reading of banns or to discuss a wedding, please email us at admin@stanneandallsaints.org.uk  or speak to the clergy after the Sunday morning service .

FUNERALS

The clergy are always willing to take funerals for people whose home address was within this parish or who have a connection with this church. Funerals can take place either in the church itself, or at a crematorium or cemetery.
