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

I know it’s nearly February – and, indeed, some of you may not be reading this until it is February – but as this is the first issue of The Record that has been produced this year, it feels right to say Happy New Year to you all. It is a habit of mine to make a note of inspirational sayings or pieces of text I come across, be they in the books I’m reading, the television programmes I’m watching, or from the radio or training courses I happen to be on. The one below came

At our Junior Church session on Sunday 11 January, the children explored the story of Mary and Joseph’s flight to Egypt, reflecting on what it meant to leave home suddenly and travel to an unknown place. Together, the group made thoughtful links between this Bible story and the experiences of modern-day refugees and asylum seekers. Through discussion and hot seating , the children imaginatively stepped into the shoes of those on the journey, asking questions and sharing ideas

Now in its third year, our Christmas Wreath Making Workshop proved once again to be a wonderfully successful and much-loved social event.

Our Nativity Service this year was a joyful and very special occasion, shaped and led by our young people. Working alongside Paula, they helped to write the service, bringing creativity, enthusiasm and fresh perspective to the heart of our worship. It was wonderful to see so many families involved on the day. Helpers and leaders supported the service by taking part in the readings, helping everything to flow smoothly and making it a truly shared celebration. One young partici

‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Glory to the new-born king’ As the Hebrews sang in Egypt, it’s hard to sing the Lord’s song in a strange land. Jesus knew all about strange lands, he ended up in Egypt after he was born, to escape Herod. Sometimes we are taken to a place we don’t know, even at Christmas time. Of course, while we have strangeness around us, we can hold onto something that is familiar to us: Christmas and the coming of the Lord Jesus. The story of Christ’s bir
