Big Green Day 2024
A small group of our Eco Church reps locally are facilitating a one day event at St. Lawrence's Church and we would love as many as possible of you to promote and support this important initiative.
The event runs during the Caterham Festival, on Saturday 15th June between 11am and 4pm. By bringing people together on the 15th we hope to be able to share stories, hope, ideas for our future and as a result begin to help people to become more thoughtful and better informed about ways in which we are all called to care for God's creation.

Royal School of Church Music - Music Sunday
We warmly welcome everyone either in person in church, or through our streamed service, to our Sunday service, led by Revd Jaimée Summers.
On RSCM Music Sunday several members of the church are going to speak about what music means to them.
We mark the centenary of the death of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford with his tune for "When in our music God is glorified" and 350 years since the birth of Jeremiah Clarke with Paul Miller playing the Trumpet Voluntary.
The anthem is William Boyce's Alleluia and the opening Fanfare is by Kenneth Leighton.

Exuberant, thoughtful, restful, energetic and romantic. All applicable to Lucas and Samira's solo and duet performances, excerpts of which you can listen to in the video.

Pudding Club and Games Evening in Church Hall
A rich choice of puddings, not to be trifled with (apart from the sherry trifles). Banoffee pie, fruit salad, scones, Viennetta (hmmm) and many other delicious pudding were on offer to the discerning diner.
After filling plates, bowls and faces, 6 swift games of 'beetle' followed. Oh, the frustration of not being able to throw a six to get started!
Then a wide array of games were on offer, the vicar wealded a mean bananagrams technique, there was a London Underground game, a bit of Dobble and rumours of a bomb being handed around!
Looked like everyone was having a good time, even those occasionally being 'blown' up.
