Just before Christmas we had a burst pipe which meant that the vicar ended up wading though the vestry corridor, kitchen, storage cupboards and the server’s vestry when she popped in to do a bit of admin. Thankfully the water hadn’t been pouring in for that long and it could be swept out quickly. We are hugely grateful to Richfords the disaster recovery service provided by our insurers EIG who provided blowers and a dehumidifer and we are delighted that the affected area is now dry. We are waiting to hear if there is any further work needed on the floors. Thank you to everyone for your patience as we worked around big bits of machinery and to those who moved everything in the affected areas somewhere else.

We are part of the Teddington Churches Together Warm Hub initiative. This is supported by Richmond Borough Council. We offer a warm(ish) space and a warm welcome.

Thanks to our fabulous knitting team every child at the crib service will have a sheep to take home with them. The service is 5pm on Christmas Eve at the church. All welcome!

Revd Karen is now back from her sabbatical which focused on prayer and worship through the body. Here is one of the pictures from Wells Cathedral where the group danced under the Gaia installation. More will follow!

Our prayers are with the royal family at this time. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Congratulations to Ash and Katie who were married at St Mark’s yesterday. We wish you all the best.

We are celebrating the HRH the Queen’s Jubilee at our service at 10am this Sunday. We will be ringing our bell again after a break of over four years. There doesn’t appear to be a national bell ringing moment so we are going to give it a good ring when we sing the national anthem at the end of the service.

From the following Sunday we will be ringing it again at 9.55am on a Sunday morning.

We are delighted to host this new venture by ACTIVATE.

A church with dance, sport, worship and food Sundays 4.00-5.30pm.

All ages welcome!
