Welcome to St Mary Magdalene, Enfield
We are now in an Interregnum
It is with mixed emotions, both happy and sad, that we announce that our vicar, Gordon, has moved from St Mary Magdalene Enfield to take up his new post at Rochester Cathedral as Canon Chancellor. Gordon has served as our vicar for 17 years and will be greatly missed for his compassion and leadership. Gordon was licensed on Saturday 13 June by Bishop James Langstaff, Bishop of Rochester. We wish Gordon, Jessica and Maria all the very best for their future in Rochester. We're sure God will open the path for Gordon to be effective in his new role.
**Stop Press**
Following the latest lockdown instructions, we will be open for private prayer between 10am and 12noon on Sunday mornings only.
Pray with us
Would you like to pray but don't know what or how to? Why not join with members of our congregation in saying The Lord's Prayer. When we begin to think about and unpack the words of this simple prayer it covers all of life in such a profound way.

Daily Devotionals
Daily devotionals come from three sources that you can choose from (or use all!), whether travelling to work, sitting and relaxing during a well deserved break, or making one of them a part of your daily 'quiet time' with God.
Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Night Prayer (or Compline) come from the Church of England's Common Worship which provides prayers and readings for different times during the day.
The daily readings are taken from The Revised Common Lectionary which divides the Bible into a three-year cycle of readings, years A, B and C.
Pray As You Go is a Jesuit based, audio resource that can be listened to anywhere.
Morning Prayer
Please click this link to be taken to today's Morning Prayer readings and prayers from the Church of England's Common Worship.
Evening Prayer
Please click this link to be taken to today's Evening Prayer readings and prayers from the Church of England's Common Worship.
Compline
Please click this link to be taken to today's Night Prayer readings and prayers from the Church of England's Common Worship.
The daily readings are taken from The Revised Common Lectionary which divides the Bible into a three-year cycle of readings, years A, B and C. These readings complement the Sunday and festival readings: Thursday through Saturday readings help prepare the reader for the Sunday ahead; Monday through Wednesday readings help the reader reflect on and digest what they heard in worship.
The Church year begins in Advent. This church year, 2019-2020, is year A.
Daily readings from The Revised Common Lectionary
