Churches Together in Surbiton & Tolworth

New Director Wanted for Oxygen

Nine years after it was launched, Oxygen (Kingston YFC)is at a very exciting stage of development. With the recent departure of our founding Director the staff, churches and trustees of Oxygen are now looking for someone who can lead this innovative work into its next stage, building on what has been achieved already and striving for even better things in the future.

We are looking for someone to lead Oxygen as it seeks to give young people in Kingston Borough the opportunity to discover and follow Jesus through serving, building relationships and teaching them to rely on God. For you this means working under the guidance of the trustees, in strategically leading and motivating a senior staff team to ensure that Oxygen’s mission to young people is fully resourced and carried out to the highest quality, with a commitment to building positive partnerships with individuals, churches and organisations to facilitate the above. Our hope and prayer is that our next Director is someone who has a passion for young people but with a head for business.

The job information is detailed here, but if you would like an informal conversation prior to application then contact our trustee Trevor Quy on 0789 408 4234 or trevor.quy@oxygen-online.org

Green Fayre

For many years there has been a Green Fayre held in Canbury Park Gardens in Kingston on bank holidaty Monday, this years it is being held on Monday 26th May. The Fayre was a response by concerned people about green issues, global warming, recycling, alternative spirituality, vegetarianism alternative healing etc, some churches got together and wanted to ensure that Jesus was going to be represented at the Fayre, so we set up a prayer tent on the healing fields and offered to pray with people, to massage their feet, offered free cake and fruit, chatted through our beliefs amongst all the others on show and found a great interest with many gratefully recieving prayer and being touchedby the Holy Spirit.  We are again going to be at the Green Fayre this year and are expecting the same response to Jesus as we have seen already, if you want to be part of the team that prays for people you need to contact Andrea on spk@oxygen-online.org .
