Sydenham Life
The parish magazine of St Bartholomew's Church, Sydenham
Click here to view the current issue (PDF file, size around 3 - 5MB). We are also building up an archive of earlier editions.
Our magazine is published ten times per year, and is distributed free to every address in the parish (more than 3500 homes). People who live outside the parish but attend church may collect copies from the church. The current issue is now also published online, and we will shortly make our archive available as well. We welcome contributions, including articles, photos or story ideas. Please get in touch with the co-editors if you have any ideas or comments.
Views expressed in Sydenham Life are those of the contributors concerned and not necessarily those held by the clergy, other church staff or PCC, nor official church policy. Editorial policy and responsibility for publication rest with the co-editors. Sydenham Life accepts advertisements from local businesses in good faith but cannot vouch for the quality of any work done nor involve itself in any disputes arising.

Collators and deliverers
We are able to call upon lots of volunteers to help us deliver the magazine through people's letterboxes. We are indebted to all their hard work, not to mention the time they give up, sometimes at a moment's notice. We couldn't make this magazine a success without them.
Contributors
Many people write and provide material for the magazine, including Father Michael, the vicar of St Bartholomew's. Their input is invaluable and we thank them very much.
