Parish Eucharist

Every Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Bart's, Sydenham
Westwood Hill Sydenham London, SE26 6QR, United Kingdom

The heart of our life and worship. We meet with Jesus through the Scriptures, through our fellowship and as the Lord comes to meet us in the bread and wine of Holy Communion.
We share our concerns with God in prayer, we listen for God's voice in the readings from the bible and a sermon and we gather as the people of God around the altar.
Music is an important part of our worship, led by our choristers, singers and young singers, fine organ and piano.
The form of service (the 'liturgy') follows contemporary Church of England patterns.

All ages are warmly welcome at St Bartholomew's. Children are always welcome in the service; there are some simple activities available for younger children for use while sitting with their families, and on the fourth Sunday of each month the prayers, sermon and other parts of the service are especially chosen with all ages in mind.

All are welcome!

Trinity Sunday & Father's Day

Westwood Hill Sydenham London, SE26 6QR, United Kingdom

Sunday 15th June is both Trinity Sunday and Father's Day. At our 10:00 service we will honour and reflect on the Christian understanding of God as Holy Trinity, and also give thanks to God for our dad's, remembering as we do those dad's we are unable to share the day with due to death or distance.

All are welcome to come and join in.
