Trinity United Reformed Church Wimbledon
Keeping you informed with the latest news from around the URC. Click HERE to read the URC News update for June.
This week we celebrate Pentecost. Our worship at 11:00 will be led by the Revd Dr Jacob Bali (Minister). Our Bible readings will be Acts 2:1-21 and John 20:19-23.
Junior Church will meet as usual, and all children will be most welcome. The Chinese Group will also gather for their worship in the Old Hall, led by the Revd Ernest Yu. Both groups leave the church for their own activities and worship after the second hymn.
Do join us for coffee and tea in the Old Hall following the service.
Our next Messy Church will be on Sunday 7 June – following the morning service from 1pm to 3pm.
Messy Chuch is for everyone, not just children! So bring your family and friends – we look forward to seeing you for informal worship, fellowship, food and crafts.
The theme this time will be “God’s call to look after our beautiful planet”. We are planning to build a bug hotel with the children so we’d be grateful to receive any of the following materials: hollow garden canes; bricks; kitchen roll inner tubes; corrugated cardboard; rotting wood; pine cones. (Contact churchoffice@trinitywimbledon.org).
Since the very beginning of the Church, these nine days between Ascension (14 May) and Pentecost (24 May) – the Novena – have been a time of prayer. And not just prayer as individuals, but as a community, like those first members of the Church.
And that is the purpose behind Thy Kingdom Come, as it unites us together in prayer – over one million Christians across 172 countries and more than 85 denominations and traditions.
This year’s theme is “God with Us”, and how the Holy Spirit has been at work in the world. And at its heart, as always, is the Prayer for Five, as we pray on behalf of five of our friends, family members, neighbours, or colleagues who do not yet follow Christ, that they may come to know Him as we do.
Last Sunday we received the booklet to accompany “Thy Kingdom Come” written this year by The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. Do make sure you pick up a copy if you are at church on Sunday. You can find out more HERE.
Tickets will be in demand as Sir John Rutter will be conducting his latest composition. Ticket numbers are limited by the capacity of the venue (All Saints’ Parish Church, Bark Hart Road, Orpington).
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 11:00 when our worship will be led by the Revd Dr Jacob Bali (Minister). The theme will be “Thy Kingdom Come”.
Junior Church will meet as usual, and all children will be most welcome. The Chinese Group will also meet for their worship in the Old Hall. Both groups leave the church for their own activities and worship after the second hymn.

Christian Aid Week (10-16 May)
Across the UK and beyond, people are coming together in hope and action. From fun events to personal challenges, every moment helps fuel real change for those living in poverty around the world.
The simplest way to be part of this movement is to give.
Will you support someone like Fridah to grow food, protect their children from hunger and nurture hope?
In Nairobi, Fridah faces a daily struggle. As a widowed grandmother, she wakes each morning unsure how she’ll feed her family. But with support from Christian Aid partners, she’s using urban farming to grow food in a tiny space – building income, stability and hope for the future.
Your donation helps make stories like Fridah’s possible. It provides the tools, training and support families need to grow their own food and overcome hunger.
