Reminder: Renewal of Church Electoral Roll

Under the Church Representation Rules, we are required to form a completely new Electoral Roll in 2025 as part of the specified 6 year cycle. Everyone who wishes to be included on the new Roll, whether they are on the present Roll or not, must complete an application form by Tuesday 8th April at the latest.

You can either complete the form and submit it electronically by clicking here or you can download and print a form (paper copies are also available in church). Please return paper forms to the church office, or by scanning them and email to office@sth-stp.org

 

 

 

 


Harry‘s mum, Joanna Forbes L’Estrange has a very exciting concert next Saturday 22nd March in London that she would love to tell you about. At 7:30pm in the wonderful church of Saint Bart’s Smithfield, there is the launch concert of her new 40 minute piece “A Season to Sing” – a choral reimagining of Vivaldi’s famous “Four Season” – which was written exactly 300 years ago. Joanna has reworked Vivaldi‘s wonderful melodies and set them to poems and Bible texts about the seasons, and although this is the official premiere, there are over 40 other performances already planned for 2025, including one in Sydney Opera House that Joanna will be conducting herself!

Please click here for ticket details. An added bonus is that St Bart’s is only a very short walk from Farringdon station – so if the Thameslink trains are actually running it’s easy to get there too!
Limited spaces – click here to sign up!
Your generous donation of Easter Eggs last year delighted the women helped by Azalea, our charity partner in Luton. Following that success, we are running the collection again this year! Can you buy an Easter egg to give to the women again? And if possible, add a short message of friendship and support  Collection box in church from 1st March.
