Services
Dear fellow parishioner,
Welcome to Chelsea Old Church, and a very warm welcome to our new Vicar, the Reverend Max Bayliss, who was instituted and inducted on 19 July 2022 as Vicar of the Parish of All Saints, Chelsea, and will be leading our services.
Max and his wife Alice were able to be with us at Pentecost for the Platinum Jubilee service and party. We had 250 attending this joyful event and raised £2000 for charity in the process.
We look forward to welcoming you in church.
Yours faithfully,
Christopher Rees and Edmund Townend Churchwardens
