Christmas Services

We will be celebrating our main Christmas Service this year on Christmas Eve at 6pm. And then on account of the increase in COVID rates we will be giving everyone the option of an online service on 26 Dec and 2 Jan at 10.30. Please contact Fr William for further details and the link. There will also be a short low Mass in church on these Sundays at 9.45 am.

Services

We are back in church at 10.30 am on Sundays, following the guidance on social distancing. Masks are worn and social distancing is maintained. For the moment there continues to be no congregational singing. A copy of the ten Covid-andments will be provided in church. Please join us.

Culture Recovery Fund

St Thomas’ is delighted to have received a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund, as we open up fully over the next few months. This will enable us to turn our narthex into a gallery space and help us adapt our nave into a venue for live performance, rehearsal and recording.  For further information please contact us.

St Thomas’ Church

St Thomas’ Church is at the corner of Clapton Common and Oldhill Street. The entrance is in Oldhill Street. The main service is every Sunday starting at 10:30.

It is an Anglican parish church, part of the Church of England, but you do not need to belong to the Church of England to attend. Everyone is welcome, and members of any Christian church are welcome to receive communion with us.

We are very glad to have families bring babies and children. There is a toy corner in the Lady Chapel where noise doesn’t matter (and you can still hear the service). Children from about age four upwards may like to join junior church activities.

We are on the frequent 253/254 bus route which connects with Manor House and Bethnal Green tube stations.

Safeguarding

We take seriously our duty to have due regard to the House of Bishop’s Guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. A list of important telephone numbers for children and adults at risk is here and is also displayed on church premises
