Daily Office - Morning Prayer and Compline

Every week, the congregations of the Benefice meet on Zoom for the Daily Office. A pattern of Psalms, Readings, and Reflections, led by the ministry team. From the earliest times, Christians have gathered at regular hours during each day and night to respond to God’s word with praise.

We use the orders of Morning Prayer and Compline from Common Worship Daily Prayer. Morning Prayer can be found here.

Morning Prayer - 9.15am - Monday to Friday

Compline - 9.30pm - Tuesday and Thursday

To get access to Zoom please enquire with the office

Meditation Group

This group meets in person and on Zoom on Mondays at 6pm during term time. The session lasts about 40 minutes. The aim is relaxation and reflection: the session involves short readings, silence, and prayer.

Bible Study 

The Bible Study of the Benefice meets every Tuesday at 1.30pm on Zoom. It explores in depth the history and theology of the books of the Bible.

Lunch Club

The monthly lunches are held for anyone over the age of 60, and typically on the third Thursday of the month - but please do check the events page for the correct dates.

These are run by a team of volunteers, and supported by local restaurants, the RBKC Council, and students from the Holland Park Secondary School.

Transport is provided if required

Lunch Time Concerts

St John’s is proud to host a fine collection of concerts from young musicians from across London and the wider world. These are typically 40 minutes long, are free to attend, and have a retiring collection which helps supports the musicians.

Evening Seminars

In the autumn and spring we run educational sessions.

We explore questions of life and faith to help us wrestle with the relevance of Christianity in the 21st century.

Our evening seminars take place either at St George’s or St John’s.
