LMH Community Prayer Board
The LMH Community Prayer Board is situated on the table near the vestry, in the Chapel corridor (aka 'Heaven's passage'). Just pin your prayer on the board and it will be read at services during the week. If you are currently away from College but would like to offer prayers, you are most welcome to do so by sending an email to the Chaplain.
Chapel Services at LMH
LMH has a long history of choral worship, led by our excellent Chapel choir.
Our main act of worship each week is
Choral Evensong – every Friday in full term, 6.00- 6.50pm in the Chapel
Evensong is a traditional Christian service, almost entirely sung and centered around The Magnificat (Song of Mary) and the Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon). Passages from both the Old and New Testaments are read and said prayers offered. The congregation has an opportunity to relax and allow the worship to wash over them. It is one of the jewels of the Anglican tradition and a beautiful experience as well as a deeply prayerful one. Everyone is welcome to attend, whatever your faith or belief. The service is followed by the Friday Formal in Hall.

Using the Chapel
During the week the Chapel is open for students and staff alike to find moments of peace and quiet during a busy day.
On the table near the effigy of Lady Margaret Beaufort — the reclining figure holding a book, which is a replica (except for the book!) of her effigy in Westminster Abbey — you may light a candle as a sign of prayer offered or sought and there is a prayer board for you to write prayer requests right outside the chapel in the corridor, aka 'heaven's passage'.
Oxford is full of opportunities to experience worship of all traditions and sorts, Christian and many other faiths too. Some of the best choirs in the world offer worship on a weekly basis in the Chapels and Churches of the city, great scholars and theologians live here, preach and teach all across the University. Do look out for notices of forthcoming events, speakers and services.
