SERVICES
Our main act of worship is on Sundays at 10am, when we welcome families and children. This is a Parish Communion following the new Common Worship service. The Liturgy is sung in a modern setting especially composed for St Paul’s by Mike Dixon. After the service, coffee is served at the back of the church or in the garden, giving people a chance to meet and chat.
St Paul's is here for christenings, weddings, funerals, Bible study courses, confirmation classes, and private prayers. Please talk to Rev Caroline about how St Paul's can be here for you.
MEDITATION GROUP
On Mondays, the meditation group meets in church at 6.45 pm for about half an hour. We practice the tradition of meditation followed by World Community of Meditation
which is ecumenical. A quiet celebration of communion often follows at 7.30pm. We are often joined by members of other churches. All are welcome to attend either event or both. For more
information, please get in touch with Sheila White 020 8994 1416.
FRIDAY WELCOME
A short Welcome Service is taken by our Lay Minister Simon Surtees every Friday from 12-12:30pm. This follows coffee club, in church.
TAIZE SERVICES
Taizé Prayer is a simple, meditative form of worship, usually in a candle-lit environment. Simple songs are repeated over and over again to create a feeling of meditation, with short readings and prayerful silence. The Taizé Community
is an ecumenical Christian monastery in France, founded in 1940. Its principles are Kindness, Simplicity and Reconciliation. Taizé has become one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage, with a focus on youth. Over 100,000 young people from around the world make pilgrimages to Taizé each year.
St Paul's holds a Taizé service on the fourth Sunday of every month, at 6:30pm.
For more information about our Taizé services please contact Caroline or Bea Vickers.
OUR CHOIR
We sing during Communion every week and meet for a short practice session at 9:30am on Sundays. This is an informal group, no robes required and new members are most welcome! We also sometimes sing anthems on special occasions, and perform music of all kinds at the many St Paul's concerts! To find out more, please email Simon Surtees or our organist Tom Torley.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is administered by the Bishop of Kensington either here with a small group at St Paul’s or at St Paul's Cathedral, with candidates from other parishes, or another church. Candidates are prepared by the Vicar in classes, usually in the evenings or at weekends. A special class is arranged for adults if required. If you would like to be confirmed, please speak to Rev Caroline. Normally children are confirmed before their first communion. All Christians are welcome to receive communion or a blessing at our communion services.
