World Mission

The Parish is committed to the belief that the church exists not to serve itself but to serve others. The Parish is committed to supporting the work of the church in the United Kingdom as well as overseas. These are some examples of where your prayers and financial contributions are helping to transform lives.

The work of the church around the world

USPG is one of the major Anglican missionary societies. We support USPG and in particular sponsor the Delhi Brotherhood project. Click the banner to visit the USPG web site.

USPG has  a successful 300-year track record of enabling people to grow spiritually, to thrive physically and to have a voice in an unjust world.  They do this in partnership with churches around the world, providing the resources – people, money and ideas – that they define as necessary to meet local needs.

For more than 100 years the Delhi Brotherhood Society has been reaching out to the marginalised, the excluded and the poor in the slums of Delhi. The Brotherhood tries to meet the needs of these vulnerable people by helping them to become self sufficient and reclaim a sense of dignity and self esteem.

We raise money in the parish through collections in Lent, and by regular coffee mornings. Each week in Lent we learn from the USPG course about Christians in other parts of the world, and we pray for them in their witness to Jesus.

Christian Aid is an agency of the churches in the UK and Ireland. Christian Aid works wherever the need is greatest – irrespective of religion or race.

We support Christian Aid by our prayers, and financially. Every Lent we hold a weekly lunch of soup, bread and cheese and donate the proceeds of this and other fund raising to the work of Christian Aid.

The parish has fully supported the Make Poverty History campaign, and is committed to praying for and petitioning for justice in trade. We have become a Fair Trade Parish and by clicking on the logo you can learn more about Fair Trade issues.
