Circuit Wayfarer afternoons in June - Whitethorn Ave and Sanderstead

A “wayfarer” is a person on a journey, a traveller.  Aren’t we all?  The Purley Methodist Circuit, to which this church belongs, is to hold two “wayfarer afternoons” in June – quiet afternoons for prayer with inspiring installations and activities to help us hear God, and maybe take a step forward on our own journeys.  They will be held at Whitethorn Avenue on Sunday 14th June and at Sanderstead on Sunday 21st June, each from 2.00 to 5.00 p.m. with self-service refreshments available.  Come to either (or both!), drop in at any time and stay as long as you like.

Drown out Division with a million Acts of Hope

At a time when the voices of those who spread hate and seek to divide communities can feel loud, the Methodist Church has joined an initiative to celebrate the acts of kindness, care and connection that happen every day. From 13–20 May, A Million Acts of Hope will bring together these everyday acts and shine a light on the people and communities making them happen. 

Congregations, community groups and projects are invited to focus on hope, sharing photos or videos capturing some of the many acts they are involved with during the week. A Million Acts of Hope - how your church can get involved
