London Richard Johnson Service & Bubble Sermon

Where: London at St Bride's Church on Fleet Street
When: 1st Tuesday in June
Time: 11.30am

 

The Bubble Sermon is organised annually by the London Stationers’ Company and the service is open to all, though very much a Company event, and the associated meal is for members and guests only.The Bubble theme is to remind us all that “Life is but a Bubble” and the service is part of a bequest in the will of an eighteenth-century Stationers’ Company benefactor called Richard Johnson, who wrote the “Paper Maker and Stationer’s Assistant” and bequeathed the proceeds to the Company. Expect perhaps a few real bubbles during the service, and a glorious rendition of “I’m forever blowing bubbles…” by the St Bride’s Choir.

Helpful Hints

You must belong to the Stationers’ Company or be invited by them to attend the meal though all are welcome to the service itself. Space is tight so arrive in plenty of time.

In 2025 it should be on Tuesday June 3rd.
