DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Each Week on Wednesday at 8pm from 12 March to 16 April, we will be holding a discussion group to go a little deeper into the themes of the Monastic Steps at the heart of each sermon. The aim of these groups is, in the company and with the encouragement of other Christians, to see how we can make these disciplines part of our everyday lives.To sign up, email: office@chelseaoldchurch.org.uk

Sunday 6 April at 12.30pm: Our next Parish Lunch, if you would like to attend please sign up in the porch or email Sophie in the Parish Office.

Sunday 18 May. Confirmations will take place at our 11am service by The Rt Revd Dr Emma Ineson, The Bishop of Kensington. If you or your

child (ideally age 9 and above) would like to seek Confirmation this year, please be in touch with Sophie in the Parish Office by 5th March at the latest. Confirmation is a sacrament that deepens your commitment to Christ and allows one to partake in Holy Communion.
