St Mary Magdalene, Richmond Team Ministry

St Mary Magdalene, Richmond Team Ministry We believe God calls the church of St Mary Magdalene in the centre of Richmond, to be a lively, inclusive and open-minded community for people of all ages.

St Mary’s, part of the Richmond Team Ministry, is an open, inclusive and welcoming community of over 250 people. We offer a variety of ways of worshipping God and serving people. A diverse group with all ages represented, we aim to encourage one another and be alive to our role in the wider world. Children and families are involved wherever possible in our worship, but our different patterns of wo

rship, and our strong musical tradition give space to people whatever their situation and wherever they come from. Our Sunday morning Sung Eucharist at 9.30 am has a family room and groups for children up to 12 years. The 9.30 am on the first Sunday of the month has a particular focus on all age worship within the setting of holy communion. Coffee follows our 9.30 service on every Sunday. There are lots of families with small children at our main service. At least once a month we have baptisms. In addition on Sunday there is an 8.00 am said Prayer Book Communion, an 11.30 am Sung Matins (3rd Sundays) with occasional baptisms and, at 6.30 pm, Sung Evensong – both Prayer Book based. During the week, we have a 10am Communion Service on Wednesdays, followed by coffee. There’s Morning Prayer at 8.30 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday – a short service centred on Bible readings and prayers for the coming day. On Tuesday we say Morning Prayer at St John the Divine and on Friday at St Matthias Church. We aim to support one another through a variety of social events and parties as well as groups – the Christians at Work group; the Theology group; the Bible Reading group; the Poetry group; our annual Christianity Explored series and open meetings each autumn where distinguished speakers reflect on issues of faith today, e.g. Faith in the Forces; Faith in Business; Faith in the Media. Parish weekends and retreats are also part of our congregational and team life.

Do join in up the Hill at St Mattias tomorrow morning

The Little Chicks Express is loaded and ready.

The sheep, naturally, got there first and have the best seats. The chicken and the egg are aboard together — the egg riding up on the engine. A book has come along too, tidy for now, which feels optimistic.

All present, more or less, and ready to go again tomorrow.

Little Chicks Stay and Play, for babies, toddlers and their grown-ups.
Friday, 9.15–10.45am at St Matthias.
Free, friendly, and all welcome.
No need to book.

Making progress on getting our old bells out - they have to come through the floor of the bell room, clock room and then the ringing room and into the porch. Luckily there are trap doors in each floor!

And so it begins - the prep work before we remove the old bells
