Daily Prayer
9am Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
5.30pm Monday to Thursday
We hold daily prayer in the side chapel of the church. This short time of prayer is a lovely, calm way to start and/or end a busy day. If you are unable to join us in person, you are always welcome to join us via Zoom (link below)
Weekday Communion
Tuesdays 6pm
Join us for a Contemplative Eucharist in the side chapel on Tuesdays at 6pm. This short and prayerful celebration of the Eucharist is a great way to break up the week.
Thursdays 12noon
This mid-week service is more reflective, with no hymns, and takes place in the calm of our side chapel. It is a short and peaceful service, with healing ministry.
Sunday Worship
8am Holy Communion
This is a short service held in the side chapel, with readings in traditional language and Holy Communion.
9am Jubilate!
2nd & 4th Sunday of the month.
A short, relaxed service with a focus on families and children.
Due to the renovation of our community space, this term the service will take place St Paul’s School hall across the road from the church (NW3 3DS).
10:30 Parish Eucharist
As our main service which is celebrated at the high altar, we use vestments, incense and choral music. The liturgy is celebrated with solemnity and joy, and families with children of all ages are welcome. During the service, the children are welcome to go to Sunday School for their own Ministry of the Word; they re-join the congregation at the Peace.
Evensong
1st Sunday of the Month
On the 1st Sunday of the month Choral or Solemn Evensong takes place. This traditional service from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer has been sung at St Mary’s for over a hundred years, and forms a central part of our musical tradition. It is an undemanding, gentle service in which the choir takes the leading role in singing the psalms and evening canticles for the Church, enabling us to pause and worship God.
