Churches reopening for everyone

Welcome from Rev'd Rob Glenny

Picture
Welcome to the RSK benefice. We are a group of welcoming, inclusive churches committed to sharing God's love, flourishing as God's people, and extending God's hospitality into our community.
We are three Church of England churches serving the parishes of Radley, Sunningwell, and Kennington.
We believe that the church is a place of encounter where, with one another, we are transformed through being with God.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Churches reopening for everyone

After months of being closed, our churches are cautiously reopening for public worship together - alleluia!. However, to be safe, we will need to maintain physical distance and appropriate hygenie measures. The week's services will be posted here, with one service in the middle of the week and the others on a Sunday.

This week

Sunday 16th August,
9.30am, Holy Communion, Kennington
11am, Holy Communion, Radley

For those who are unable to return in person, we will be maintaining an online service on this site for the coming weeks.

Churches open for private prayer

Our three churches are open for prayer.
​
On Wednesdays and Sundays from 9:30am - 5pm all three churches will be open, and there will be special prayer spaces in Radley and Kennington to help us reflect on the past few months as we begin to move out of lockdown. If that’s not your thing, don’t worry, there’s space to just sit and be instead. Curious? Nervous? Needing to stay at a distance for a bit longer? We’ll do a virtual version of the prayer spaces on here too.

Try the Labyrinth

Have you been to see it yet? On the ground outside St. Swithun's, Kennington we have chalked a labyrinth on the ground. At first glance it looks like a maze, but a labyrinth is different: you can’t get lost in it if you follow the markings on the ground. They have been around for thousands of years and traditionally they are used to take a breather, let go of the pressures of life, reflect and pray. 

If you would like to learn more about the Labyrinth come along on a Wednesday at 3pm and find out more. Otherwise feel free to explore for yourself – use as a quiet space to think or reflect.
