Please Note
Heads up, families! SOS and Young Disciples are taking a summer break this August, so our brilliant children and youth will be joining us in the main service.
To help our younger ones stay happily engaged, we’ve got activity packs ready to go! If your child would like one, just pop over to Jan Stone.
Let’s enjoy worshipping together as one big church family this summer! 
Church Live Stream
Our church services are being live-streamed, with the camera positioned to capture only the front of the church, focused on the pulpit.
If you have any concerns or reservations about this, please speak to one of the church leaders.
The live stream link is shared every Sunday on the WhatsApp Prayer Chain.

Oasis Bookshop Appeal Update
|
|
|
|
Oasis Bookshop is delighted by the generous response to its fundraising appeal. At the halfway point of the campaign, around £3,800 (including Gift Aid) has been raised toward the £5,000 target, with additional separate donations, including from Wallington Baptist Church, bringing the total even closer,
This support has enabled the team to move forward in faith. Builders and signage firms have now been instructed to begin preparations for the planned improvements.
Encouraged by the momentum, Oasis is also exploring the possibility of upgrading the shop front, including a new window, door and sign. Further updates will be shared as plans develop.
The team remains deeply grateful to all who have contributed and welcomes any further support from those still considering a donation.

The Forge is a men’s event, held near Carshalton in Surrey. It’s a chance for us blokes to get together, share food, fun, and even talk to one another!

You can camp overnight, or just drop in for the weekend on each day.
It’s open to anyone over the age of 13, but we do ask for there to be a responsible adult around for anyone under 18!
The team come from churches based in the area and we’re running TF25 to show that following Jesus leads to the best life possible!
