Church Services
The Parish of Putney is a single parish, which has two churches (St Mary's by Putney Bridge and All Saints' on Putney Common).
Some people feel most at home in one or the other but many people move between the two depending on the type and time of service. The normal pattern of services is listed to the left, though from time to time special events in the life of the parish or special times of year mean that the pattern may change.
Statement of Intention
The church is the family of God in Christ. In that family, as in every family, every member is of equal importance and deserving of the love, care and tolerance of all the other members. We would like to teach this by example in word and action to the children of All Saints' and St. Mary's. In doing so those of us who are volunteers, working with our various children's groups, need the help and prayers, the support and understanding of every member of our churches.
We ask that you join us in helping our children feel that they are valued and a vital part of the life of our church. This we can do together, by welcoming our children through baptism and into our life and worship, and by realising that we are all together in the work of teaching our faith.
Our intentions are:
* to encourage children to develop good feelings about church
* to teach our children of the love of God, and about our Christian faith
* to find opportunities for children to be an active part of the whole church fellowship
* to give parents the support they need to bring their children up in the Christian faith
* to give children the opportunity to worship in their own way
* to encourage every member of the congregation, regardless of age, to recognise the importance of the contribution they make to this work, in terms of welcoming, encouraging and praying for the children of the parish.
