And Breathe…

A new weekly space for prayer, stillness and reflection beginning Wednesday 17th June, 6:30–7:15pm in the Chapel at St Thomas’s, Telford Ave, Balham. SW2 4XW.

Sometimes life moves at such a hectic pace that we rarely pause long enough to attend to ourselves, to God, or to one another. Christian meditation is a long-standing practice of prayer and contemplation — making space simply to be present to God.

Each week will include scripture, poetry, art, music, silence and guided meditation. No experience needed. Open to all, whether you have a strong faith, a questioning faith, or none at all.

If you’d like to know more, message us.

What a joyful Pentecost celebration at STWSS today! 🎈🔥🕊️

As we received our balloons, we were reminded that God fills us with his Holy Spirit—not just for ourselves, but so that we can go out and share his love with the world.

May the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control—be seen in us this week.

Filled up and sent out!

What kind of future are we building together?

On Friday 5th June at 7.30pm, at St Thomas with St Stephen’s, we’re hosting a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing — a powerful and accessible film bringing together leading voices on the climate and nature crisis, and the practical hope that can be found through collective action.

This isn’t about doom or guilt. It’s about understanding what’s happening, why it matters, and how communities like ours can respond with courage, compassion and imagination.

After the screening there’ll be space for conversation, reflection and sharing ideas together.

Please come along — and invite someone else too. A friend, neighbour, colleague, family member, or someone who cares about the future but perhaps doesn’t know where to begin. If each of us invited one person, we could create a really meaningful evening of learning, connection and hope.

🗓 Friday 5th June
🕢 7.30pm
🎟 Free to attend

Hosted by our Eco Church team. Everyone welcome.

We had a fantastic time on Sunday at our APCM service... our kids thought about what God loves about our church and created an amazing garden to show how we need to be rooted in God's love!
