What to expect when you come to church on Sundays

Whether you are new to church or just moved into the area and are looking for a local church, we want you to feel comfortable. The virtual tour above gives an idea of what to expect on Sunday’s. 

This video was commissioned and funded as part of the Heritage Lottery COVID Culture Recovery grant.  More information about our worship and online streaming can be found below.

Sunday Morning Worship

Our Sunday morning worship is continues to be live streamed on Zoom and officially starts at 11am. When national lockdown is lifted and we return to gather worship we operate a booking system via parish office for those wishing to attend in church tel. 020 8952 4066. We maintain a COVID-safe environment with social distanced seating, QR code check-in for the NHS App, hand sanitiser at the door and a one-way system for entry and exit. Everyone wears a face mask during the service unless medically exempt. Worship is led by our Worship Director, with those present encouraged to move to the music or wave a flag instead of singing.

The service can also be found live streaming on our Facebook page St Margaret’s Edgware Friends.

The service starts with the band playing a contemporary song at 10.55am to create the atmosphere of worship. Everything that we sing or say together is on the screens. The predominant worship style is contemporary (Hillsong, Jesus Culture, New Wine). There will be a bible reading and a talk every week, and on the fourth Sunday of the month we have Holy Communion (in one kind only). Unfortunately due to the current restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic we are unable to serve refreshments.

Children & Youth

We welcome children and young people at St Margaret’s. For children under 5 years old there is the children’s table where parents can supervise their children playing during the service. For Primary school children we have a bi-weekly online PowerPraisers programme which is a fast pace 30 minute programme including a bible story, craft activity, singalong and prayer time.

During natioanl lock down we provided materials for children to do work on at home along the theme of the service. Our secondary school age youth attend the main service and follow the adult teaching stream. They are encourage to join in with leading the monthly All Age service or get involved in one of the many serving teams. In 2019, 14 young people from across the parish completed the CPAS Growing Leaders Youth course. Young people are now meeting virtually for a bi-weekly youth group on Zoom.  This helps young people stay connected, provides a safe space for them to share issues  and supports their spiritual growth and mental health.

Monthly Evening Worship

In pre-covid times we had a monthly evening worship service which was predominately praise and worship. The theme may vary each month including an annual Thanksgiving and Remembering Service in June, Voice for Jesus Concerts in October and February and a Youth Celebration service in September. The worship style is contemporary and we are delighted to have worshippers from other churches in Edgware, Chesham and London joining us on different occasions. This evening is intended to be a soaking in the Holy Spirit and prayer ministry is available.

Joint worship services with Edgware & District Churches are live streamed from St Margaret’s for Christmas, Palm Sunday and Pentecost.  Events details and access codes are provided in our Events section.
