Renovations to HTB’s sister church at St Paul’s Onslow Square are moving ahead fast in preparation for the start of a new 11 o’clock morning service at the church starting this month.

More than 800 people attended HTB’s annual new year’s eve prayer party, celebrating midnight by letting off party poppers as ballloons fell from a net on the ceiling.

Around 4,000 people attended the traditional Christmas Carols by Candlelight services at Holy Trinity Brompton last month with a 150-strong choir and orchestra – but they were just some of the services on offer during the festival season.

A Nigerian bishop whose home has been attacked by armed marauders seeking to murder him twice in the last two years has accepted an invitation to speak at HTB’s teaching holiday in July.

St Paul’s Onslow Square was the main evacuation centre for patients and staff fleeing a serious fire at the Royal Marsden Hospital yesterday.
