Church of the Ascension
Blackheath

 
 

We are a church where people who want to get involved can. We believe our faith leads us to get involved with the community around us and with issues in the wider world. This is why you will see a number of people heavily involved on the two large council estates in our parish – Heathside and Lethbridge in Lewisham. And is why you will see us asking for donations to support a wide variety of projects and organisations overseas.

             
 

 

 

                   

We are also part of a ‘team’ – where we have joined forces with two other churches in Deptford to focus on how best we can serve the local areas. So now we are officially linked with Holy Trinity on Bennett Grove. We have an historical building, an ancient faith but we are not stuck in the past. We like to think of ourselves as outward looking and inclusive and our faith draws upon centuries of wisdom and practice.
 

  Church is not just about the bricks and the windows – or even about Sundays – but it is a community that seeks to live out one simple aim – to love God and to love our neighbour.

Why don’t you join us?

FORTHCOMINGS EVENTS


Start the Month - September
The new series of events to Start the Month will begin next Sunday, 5th
September, when Adam Boulter will give a talk on Art and Faith. Adam is
an Anglican priest who works in Battersea but he is also a painter and
will bring both perspectives to his presentation. As usual we will have
a drink at 6.30 before Adam begins and end at 7.30pm.

Teaching Sundays - A New Format for September
This is an experiment with a slightly changed format for a Sunday
Morning service once a month.  Usually on the 4th Sunday of the
month, the liturgy will be a little shorter and the sermon a little
longer to allow time to look at a subject in a bit more depth than
we can usually manage on a Sunday morning (there may be
handouts or PowerPoint presentations).  The first of these will
be on 26 September, when Trevor will be exploring the
approaches to interfaith relations, can all religions be true?
