Thanksgivings

This is for people who want to thank God for the birth of their child, and ask His blessing on the child. The parents come to the front of the Church with the child, and there are prayers, a reading, and a present given to the child from us. No commitment is needed from the parents.

Weddings

If you would like to get married at All Saints the please ring (020 7639 3052) or email the office. There are certain legal requirements and procedures that we have to follow before somebody gets married here. Also we like couples to have done some preparation for marriage with us first so that they know both God’s design for marriage and what they are letting themselves in for!

Funerals

Funeral directors regularly ask the Vicar and Curate to take funerals. If you have some connection to All Saints and so would particularly like either the Vicar or the Curate to take the funeral and if you would like it to be held in the Church, then contact the Church office by phone or email and/or email the Parish Secretary. Also please let the funeral directors know of your intentions.
