Churches Together in Surbiton & Tolworth

RE ACT in Surbiton

On Sunday 3 August eight churches in Surbiton, including ourselves, are putting on a Re:Act family fun day. A bit like Summer Breeze but bigger, with more attractions and completely free. A team from outside surbiton will be coming aftre 4 Re:Act days in other towns and will then go on to Molesey for a final day. They will be doing a lot of the work and it is still possible to join them for an 11 day mission including training. The aim of the Fun Day is to bless the community from 2-5pm and then from 5.50-7pm there is Church outdoors, an evangelistic meeting with testimonies, dance, etc.

If you are not able to spare 11 days it is possible to join the team for just the one day they are in Surbiton. There is a commitment to be involved from 10am to 8.30pm starting with a briefing and finishing with a free dinner) and a cost of £5. You will be given a packed lunch, evening meal a burger in the afternoon and all the squash you can drink. Wow!
 
You will have a great time helping and socialising with the rest of the team. Some more information from Re:Act is available here. If you would like to be involved fill in the application form here, and return it by email. Deadline for applications is Thursday 17 July, a week today, even if you cannot get the form to me by then.

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 .

CTS Youth Banquet Revolutionaries

The churches together in Surbiton Youth Banquet went well on Saturday evening. This now annual event draws together young people from all over Surbiton, Chessington and Hook into a dress up evening of food, speaker and dancing.

This year we played host to Gav Calver from Youth for Christ who spoke on loving God and loving our neighbour. His challenge to the young people in attendance was that they can create a Hope Revolution change the world for Jesus and that they have until 25 to do it, for statistically you are more likely to have a dramatic on society before 25 than after! At the end of the event he asked young people to make a decision to follow and change the world for Jesus, it was amazing to see around 18 of those in attendance stood and declared their intent.

• Please pray for the young people of Surbiton, for their faith, for their leaders, volunteers and churches.
• Pray for the young people of our area that they would bring hope, healing and good news to their friends and the rest of society.

Although Gav’s talk on the night was not recorded you can listen to another recent talk he gave here, you can also visit the photos from the evening by clicking here, or on the photo above.

Adam Stacey of Baptists together in Surbiton is looking to starting a Surbiton Churches Football Club and joining the Southern Area Christian Football League (SACFL).
