Trinity United Reformed Church Wimbledon
Would you like to serve at Wimbledon in the middle weekend or final week of the tournament?
Love All Serve All is an initiative to show something of God’s love to the overnight tennis fans in Wimbledon Park through giving free refreshments, discussing life and faith, offering prayer, being a listening ear. We go out every evening up to and including Saturday 11 July.
We meet at St Michael’s Church in Southfields for training at 8pm. http://www.stmichaelssouthfields.org/. We then head to the queues in Wimbledon Park and the evening is finished by 11.15pm.
Please contact Carolyn Skinner on

Please help by supporting the Cake Sale on Sunday 5 July.
We hope to raise £550 towards the costs of the Southern Synod Youth Camp, run by Hannah Jones and supported by a group of older leaders (seven of whom are from Trinity – Miriam, Cathy, Barry, Lilian, Gareth, Gillian & Roger).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE HEAT!
On Wednesday 1 July, members of the Wednesday Social Group will be having their annual visit to Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park.
Located on the highest point of the Park, with stunning views across the Thames Valley to the west, this magnificent Georgian mansion has been used in a number of ways. A molecatcher, a prime minister, two earls, five countesses, a child who was to become a renowned philosopher, and a group of wartime special agents: all have been residents of Pembroke Lodge at some time in its long history.
Weather permitting we will have tea on the terrace. Everyone is welcome to join us – church members and their friends. Further details will follow.
On Saturday 27 June, General Assembly of the United Reformed Church met for a one-day, one-issue Assembly, at Carrs Lane Church, Birmingham to discuss how local United Reformed churches might respond to recent legislation on the marriage of same sex couples.
To read about the discussion and decisions that were taken, see the “pastoral letter” from the Assembly Moderators and General Secretary. Click on the link below:
After a gloriously hot and sunny Saturday, the day of our barbecue turned out a little disappointing. As Morning Service ended a few raindrops fell and our stalwart barbecuers found themselves outside on their own! Through thick smoke they cooked away, and about sixty church members and friends – young and not so young – enjoyed an excellent lunch with a superb variety of salads and puddings brought by all. Our thanks to all who organised, cooked, washed up, or did anything at all to make the event so enjoyable.
Steve, Richard & Andries (through the smoke and rain!)
