We know that the 'first day' anywhere can be a challenging experience, but try not to worry as we are a warm welcoming place. Here's a quick summary of what you can expect at Bermondsey Central Hall. Service starts at 11am and worship is made up of hymns led by the church choir, readings from the Bible, prayers and an address by the Minister or local preacher leading worship. On the first Sunday each month we celebrate Holy Communion and this and the third Sunday are normally all-age worship services. These are interactive and fun for children both big and small. On the remaining Sundays, at about 11:20 the children and teenagers leave for junior church. There is also a creche avaliable on these days.

Make a donation.
The work of the South London Mission is supported by and heavily dependent on donations from individuals, church groups, schools and other organisations through gifts of money and food (for our food programme). For many years we have relied on an established pool of donors who care enough about the work that the South London Mission does amongst the poor and disadvantaged people of Bermondsey to make regular donations towards our work and through legacies left in their wills. Our pool of donors is dwindling as time passes and we are in great need of new donors.
