Welcome to St Mary's. We are the historic Parish Church of Woodford in north-east London. We seek to live the Christian message at the heart of the local community. Whether you are looking for a church or just browsing, we wish you all God's blessings and that we meet in person one day.

We meet for worship each Sunday at:
8am - Holy Communion - a quiet reflective service (Book of Common Prayer 1st & 3rd Sundays)
10.00am - Sung Eucharist and Sermon (with parallel activities for children; but all together once each month)
6.30pm - Sung Evensong and Sermon with the traditional Prayer Book, a choir and special music for festival Sundays.

Our weekdays services in the Chapel:
are usually at 9.00am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
and 10.30am and 7.30pm on Wednesdays.
There is no service on Fridays.

The story of Darwin ended perfectly unresolved, as indeed it should, and left us all asking the questions.  Indeed, many of us stayed to do just that in conversation with Ian after the performance.  . . .
