Worshipping Together

Our best-attended service is the 10:30 sung Eucharist on Sunday mornings. Most Sundays our own choir is present, and sometimes we benefit from the presence of a visiting choir. Our own world-class organist, Wijnand van de Pol, or our assistant organist Gabriele Catalucci plays our wonderful Conacher - Mascioni organ (see the Music page for more information about the organ). We use seasonal booklets based on Common Worship for this service. On the first Sunday of the month beginning in October 2004 our 10.30 Sunday Eucharist will be a slightly shorter and simpler liturgy. The children will not have Sunday School on this day, but will remain upstairs in church. Four times a year we have special all-age services in which the children and youth take a bigger role. We have special children's liturgies at Christmas and Easter.

At 8.30 on Sunday mornings we offer a said Eucharist from the Book of Common Prayer. This is a quiet, contemplative service, and unless we have a group of pilgrims visiting us, it is usually attended by just a few regulars.

On the first Sunday of the month (November - June) our organist, Wijnand van de Pol or one of his students offers a contemplative service of music known as Organ Vespers at 5 pm. Sung Evensong follows at 6 pm.

Every weekday morning at 8:00 we say Morning Prayer in the chancel. At this time we are using Common Worship Daily Prayer and saying the whole book of Psalms on a two month cycle. Some people choose attendance at Morning Prayer as a way of keeping Advent or Lent, others come on a day of remembrance, or because they have not had a chance to worship at a Sunday service. There is small group of regulars, and the chaplain and the administrative assistant are always present.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays the Eucharist is celebrated in the side chapel at 12 noon. On Thursdays the Eucharist is celebrated at 7 pm. We use Common Worship for these services, except on Fridays when we use The Book of Common Prayer. On the first Wednesday of the month, the noon Eucharist includes a service of Healing and Wholeness, which begins with silent meditation at 11.30, for those who wish to prepare in this way.

On Tuesdays we do not have a Eucharist at All Saints', but go instead to the 12.45 Eucharist at the Anglican Centre.

In addition to these regular services, we have special yearly events like our Festal Evensong for All Saints' Day, when many ecumenical guests are present, the Service of Lessons and Carols on the last Sunday before Christmas, and our special pre-dawn Easter morning Eucharist followed by a gala breakfast. Retreats, study groups, and youth group meetings afford other opportunities for informal worship.

The worshipping traditions of other Christian groups which use our facilities - the Filipino Christian Fellowship and a group of Christians from Sri Lanka - help us to look outward from our own Anglican prospective into the wider world of Christian worship.

Please note that all baptised Christians who are admitted to Holy Communion in their own churches are welcome to receive Communion in All Saints'. If you prefer not to receive the sacrament, you are invited to come forward for a blessing, carrying your service booklet with you, so that the ministers will be aware of your intention.
