Our Christmas Tea in December

Link to Hope: Christmas boxes

The church is delighted to have supported Link to Hope once more, with Robert & Bridget taking 19 boxes to the centre in November 2023.

The shoeboxes will go to the poorest people in Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania.

The scheme collects boxes for entire families and the elderly, so nobody’s left out.

Link to Hope believe that sending shoeboxes shows love from British people to those in war-torn or poverty-stricken circumstances, regardless of their background, colour, creed or religion. https://linktohope.co.uk/shoebox-appeal-2023/

MacMillan Coffee Morning 2023

We held a MacMillan Coffee morning at the church in The Hub on Wednesday September 27th . It was good to see so many people supporting us. Well done on raising a fabulous £351. 50.

Keep on recycling those print cartridges!

As part of the eco church work we are doing, we have been collecting printer cartridges. Bridget has just sent a boxful off which raised over £21 for Christian Aid. Keep them coming in!

In The Hub

Craft & Company group – 9am-12 noon every Wednesday .

Haslemere Food Bank

We have supported the Food Bank as a church community by collecting items at Harvest and have a collection box at church.

The Food Bank is not equipped to handle fresh food and therefore seeks donations only of dry goods, in tins, packets, jars and bottles. The focus is on basic foodstuffs suitable for breakfast, a snack, and a full meal each day. Basic toiletries are also requested – loo rolls, bath soap, toothpaste, shampoo, feminine hygiene, etc. Lists of current needs are sent out to collection points roughly once a month and appear on this website and elsewhere.

Tinned pasta (spaghetti, ravioli etc)
Packet puddings

Thank you for your support for the Food Bank. With your help, we will be able to help as many people as possible in our community who find themselves in need of support.

A huge thank you to those who have already donated and to those kind people who regularly donate.

Sight Loss Friendly Church

We are now registered as a Sight Loss Friendly Church as we work towards making our online and real time services more accessible to all. We’ve got lots of work to do and there will be opportunities for us all to access training and resources to support those in our congregation with sight concerns.

Eco Church Award

A small group of members has been investigating the idea of achieving an Eco church award. It’s been done using a survey supplied by A.Rocha, the administrative organisation for the award, just looking at where we are now. If you would like to know more, visit the page in the Menu bar.

We have been awarded a Silver Award.
