We are hosting Alpha Youth during our 4pm service in place of the usual sermon. All ages meet together during this service. Alpha Youth gives young people a space to explore their questions about life, faith and purpose. It has been designed to help them engage with the core ideas of the Christian faith in a way that is relevant, accessible and engaging. We also believe this will be a valuable opportunity for the whole church family. It offers all of us the chance to grow in faith—whatever stage of life we are at—and to support our young people as they explore theirs. For further details contact Teri-Anne:

Join us on Saturday 7 June at 9:30am as we take part in a special Thy Kingdom Come prayer walk in the lead-up to Pentecost. We’ll be praying for God’s Kingdom to come in Hampton—seeking His presence, love, and blessing for everyone who lives and works in our community.
This year, the Diocese of London is inviting churches to ask:
"What would it look like for the whole Church in London to pray for the whole city, street by street?"
As part of this initiative, we’ll be logging our prayer route on a digital map to show how our local walk contributes to a citywide effort to cover the M25 London area in prayer.
Between now and Pentecost, why not turn your regular walks into prayer walks? You can log your route on the digital map at: Map – Your Kingdom Come Here .
Let’s join together in praying for Hampton—and beyond.

G.F. Handel - Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
