Over the August bank holiday weekend, I went with my family to the Greenbelt Festival. Greenbelt is a gathering of arts, faith, and justice; the kind of place where you can move from a Bible study to a ceilidh, to a comedy show to a conversation with an old friend, all in the space of an afternoon. One session I attended this year was led by members of the Iona Community and was titled Could you slide the marmalade down this way? They spoke about community life around sha

On Sunday 6th September, our Junior Church came back together after the summer break for a special Welcome Back Breakfast! 16 children and young people joined us to share breakfast together, catch up with friends and swap memories from their summer holidays. After breakfast, everyone headed into the hall for some games and plenty of fun together. It was wonderful to welcome everyone back and a great way to start another year of Junior Church activities. It was great to be tog

On Sunday 24th May, our Junior Church got stuck into our annual litter pick around the church grounds. As part of our ongoing Eco Church activities, the children spent time helping to tidy up the area, collecting litter and making our church grounds a cleaner and more welcoming place for everyone. It was a great opportunity to put our care for creation into action and to think about the small things we can all do to look after our environment. A big thank you to everyone who

On Sunday 21st June, our Junior Church enjoyed getting their hands dirty as they gave our pots a colourful summer refresh! The children helped to plant some lovely new geraniums and begonias, bringing plenty of colour to the pots and giving everyone the chance to enjoy a bit of gardening together. It was a fun, hands-on activity, and one of our young gardeners summed it up perfectly: “I loved getting my hands in the soil!” A big thank you to everyone who got involved. We look

One year on! This time last year I was preparing for my Ordination and Induction at Reigate Park on 6th September – creating an Order of Service, choosing hymns and who would be doing what within that service, what else needed to be done and so on. Looking back, where has that year gone? These are some of the things I have done during the year: Led worship at Reigate Park, mainly twice a month but sometimes more Accepted invitations to lead worship in other churches In

Junior Church made the most of the summer sunshine with a special outdoor session exploring and appreciating the natural world around us. Inspired by Psalm 104, the children used their senses to notice the beauty and variety of God’s creation. They headed off on a scavenger hunt, discovering different sights, textures and treasures in the outdoor surroundings. The session also included the chance to get creative! Using natural materials they had found, the children produced t

On Friday 10 July, Junior Church families, leaders and helpers gathered in a beautiful garden for a summer barbecue. Everyone enjoyed delicious food, fun games and plenty of time to chat and catch up together. It was a wonderful evening of friendship and fellowship—and everyone is already looking forward to next year

As we come into the summer months, many of us will be looking forward to a holiday, a day out, or simply a little more space in everyday life. The longer days and warmer weather often help us slow down a little. However this summer looks for you, I want to offer a simple encouragement: your rest matters! The words of the well‑loved hymn Dear Lord and Father of Mankind are especially suitable for a good summer break: Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cea

A fantastic evening of community spirit and friendly competition saw around 90 people gather for a Church Family Quiz in aid of UNICEF on 21st March 2026. The event brought together approximately 12 teams, with participants representing not only local church groups but also wider community organisations. The strong turnout created a lively and welcoming atmosphere, reflecting the shared desire to support an important global cause. The evening began with a simple but well-rece

As we move towards Eastertide and the early days of spring, I’ve been thinking about two moments that have stayed with me over the past few weeks. The first was our Lent workshop in Banstead, where members of several churches gathered to reflect on Holy Week through art, poetry and music. The music was especially moving, and the painting of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet felt so full of life that it seemed as though Jesus was speaking directly to us through it. In the

At the time of writing this piece for the March edition of The Record, the calendar has only just turned over to February. What a mixture of weather we are having - pouring with rain one minute and then a beautiful rainbow appears – although we should be thankful that we are much better off than a lot of places in the UK and elsewhere in the world. It’s really hard, sometimes, trying to think of Spring and Summer with the nicer weather and it’s certainly hard to imagine t
