Easter Dawn service

St James's, Piccadilly

The church gates open at 5.45am for the Dawn Eucharist at 6.15am. We will gather outside around the Easter fire and light the paschal candle before processing into the church. Once there, the most ancient song of the church, the Exultet, is sung, and all of us renew our baptism vows around the font. Then we return outside for the Eucharist using the bread that will have risen overnight.

Welcome

St James’s is a parish church in London’s West End, part of the Church of England and the world wide Anglican Communion. The building is a Christopher Wren design, consecrated in 1684. Our principal gathering as a Christian community is every Sunday at 11.00am for the Eucharist.

We seek to be an inclusive, welcoming and adventurous Christian community, honouring God and one another.
