OUR DIOCESAN CONSULTATION

Living Christ’s Story Together

In the coming months, we will be spending time in our PCCs and congregations looking at the materials from Archbishop Stephen and his team about the refreshed vision that we have as a diocese and what it means to live Christ’s story together.

In a nutshell:
“As the church of Jesus Christ we have two stories to tell: the story of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection; and the continuing story of what Jesus has done through his church, including what he is doing in our lives now by the power of the Spirit. That’s Living Christ’s Story.”

You can see more about what Archbishop Stephen has in mind here or watch a video that goes more deeply into how it will affect each of our churches here .

I do encourage all of you to look at these.

Revd Liz

Services and Private Prayer

Sunday Sung Eucharist in Church at 10:30am

Join us for the 'in-person' service at St Olave's at 10.30am. You can find the music for January 2022 here. There is an area at the back of church reserved for those who prefer not to have people around them singing. The choir will not sing during the distribution of Communion. Please continue to wear face coverings, especially while singing or speaking in church, unless you are exempt. We also ask you to consider taking a lateral flow test before attending a service.

Sunday Online Service on YouTube at 10:30am

The Sunday online (YouTube) service starts at 10.30am, but why not join us from 10.15 so that you can greet other members of the congregation via YouTube Live Chat and hear some wonderful organ playing! The online service is available on our YouTube channel to catch up later.

Friday Eucharist in Church at 11am

As the Sunday morning worship becomes busier with more music, the Friday Eucharist is offered for people who would feel safer at a smaller and quieter service. Parts of this service are recorded for the weekly online service. Those in the congregation do not appear on-screen.

Private Prayer in Church

We are delighted to announce that St Olave's is now open again during the day for visitors and those who wish to pray. Please continue to sanitise hands and wear face coverings while in the building.
