Lord of all Life, you promised that wherever the river flows, everything shall live. Stir in us a calling to care for the waters – to protect the watershed, defend the rights of water, and honour the dignity of the thirsty. May your Word be a spring within us, gushing forth for the healing of the nations.
Amen
Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and full of hope for the coming season.
The children have gone back to school, Junior Church and Toddler Group are back, and autumn is beginning to make its presence felt. The leaves are turning, and the rustic browns, oranges and golds are beginning to surround us. There is something beautiful about the changing of the seasons, reminding us that life is always moving, growing and changing. The writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
There is a time to plant and a time to harvest, a time to begin and a time to let go, a time to learn and a time to move forward. Whatever season we find ourselves in, God remains faithful.
Last week, I was invited to attend a conference at Lambeth Palace, where both clergy and lay people spent time reflecting on how the Church of England can continue to grow as a Church where everyone feels welcomed, valued and that they truly belong.
It was a real privilege to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally, and the Archbishop of York, the Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell, and to hear them share their reflections on faith, belonging and the importance of listening to one another. Photographs are attached.
It was a thoughtful and encouraging day, with honest conversations about our experiences, our history and the kind of Church we want to be. I came away with a sense of both gratitude and hope: gratitude for the progress that has been made, and hope for the journey ahead.
For me, one of the most beautiful pictures of the Church is found in Revelation, where Saint John the Apostle describes “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages” standing together before the throne of God. What a wonderful vision of God’s Kingdom: people from every background, culture and nation, at peace with one another, united in God’s love and worshipping him together.
It reminded me that our calling as Christians is to make space for one another, to listen, to learn, to love and to recognise the image of God in every person we meet. This is something we can all take part in, through the simple ways we welcome people, build friendships and make room for others ensuring Christ Church continues to be a place where people find a warm welcome, a listening ear, a community of faith and a sense that they truly belong.
I am particularly enjoying our season of Creationtide, when we give thanks for the wonderful world God has entrusted to us and reflect on our calling to care for it. Our church has been beautifully adorned with artwork celebrating creation, and last Sunday we were privileged to hear from Nick Robins as part of our Creationtide celebrations. His talk was both thought-provoking and encouraging. You can read it by tapping the button below.
There is more to come! On Sunday 27 September, Professor Mary-Ann Kernan will give a Creationtide presentation, helping us to think about how we honour and care for God’s creation here at Christ Church. To allow sufficient time for the presentation, we will be having a Service of the Word that day.
Our wonderful Bring and Share Harvest Brunch will take place after the 10am service on Sunday 4 October. Everyone is welcome, so please invite friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to join us. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of church with suggestions of things you might like to bring foodwise. Please put your name against an item if possible. If you can help with setting up, we will meet at 4pm on Saturday 3 October to bring tables in from the hall, and again at 9am on Sunday 4 October to lay the tablecloths and get everything ready. Please speak to Tish if you are able to help.
This Sunday is my birthday, so I am very grateful to The Reverend Stephen Crabtree, who is kindly taking our Sunday morning services. I know you will give Stephen a warm Christ Church welcome, and I hope you will enjoy worshipping together. I will be thinking of you and praying for you while I am away, and I look forward to seeing you next week.
As we move into this new season, may we remember that whatever season of life we find ourselves in, God is with us. Whether we are beginning something new, navigating change or challenge, celebrating, grieving, learning or simply wondering what comes next, we can trust that God’s love surrounds us and that he continues to lead, guide us and help us. I am grateful for each one of you and for all that you bring to the life of Christ Church West Wimbledon.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
Last Sunday, Tish, one of our Churchwardens, gave a thoughtful and engaging talk on forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness is not always easy. Some relationships and situations can test us deeply. Yet, with the help of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness is possible. The Spirit leads us, guides us, encourages us and heals us, helping God’s love to take root more deeply in our hearts.
Perhaps there are some “VDPs”, Very Difficult People, in our lives whom God is calling us to love! Perhaps there are situations that require patience, peace, resilience and a deeper trust in God. Forgiveness does not mean pretending that something did not happen or ignoring hurt. Rather, it is about placing our hurts into God’s hands and allowing him to work within us, so that resentment does not have the final word. Where possible, this can open the way towards healing, freedom and reconciliation. As Scripture reminds us: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
Tish’s All Age Talk is below for you to read and reflect on.
On Saturday, I was delighted to join the Wimbledon Common Walk and Talk group. I always enjoy these walks whenever I can. They are a wonderful way to meet parishioners and people from across our wider community. Walking together creates opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the Common, a large part of which lies within our parish and to meet people we might otherwise never encounter. For example, it was a particular joy to chat with Fleur Anderson, MP for Putney, Colin Cooper, Chief Executive of Wimbledon and Putney Commons, local residents, the conservators and, of course, the Ranger’s horses Max and Overcast! Everyone is welcome to join future Walk and Talk groups. It is free, and we meet on Saturday’s at the War Memorial at 10.30am before heading out together across the Common and surrounding area.
I am delighted to share some wonderful news. Last month’s Together Tea, held in support of Breast Cancer Now, raised a fantastic £512. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this possible. Your generosity will make a real difference. A huge thank you also to our wonderful Together Tea team, Angelina, Dee, Mary, Jenny, Ann and Marion, who faithfully organise these teas every month. Together Tea takes place on the last Thursday of every month at 3pm, and everyone is warmly welcome. Come along for wonderful company, sumptuous tea, cake and, of course, cucumber sandwiches! The next Together Tea is Thursday 24 September.
September is Creationtide in the Anglican Christian calendar, a season when we give particular thanks for the beauty and goodness of God’s creation and reflect on our calling to care for it. You will see our church adorned with wonderful artwork celebrating creation. A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed artwork, and especially to Mary Ann Bown, from our Eco Church team, for bringing the displays together so beautifully. On 27 September we’ll have a Service of the Word where Mary-Ann will share with us about how we honour and care for God’s creation here at Christ Church. I hope these reflections will inspire us to see the world around us with fresh eyes and to consider how each of us can play our part in caring for our common home.
Our wonderful Bring and Share Harvest Brunch will take place after the 10am service on Sunday 4 October. Everyone is welcome, so please invite friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to join us. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of church with suggestions of things you might like to bring foodwise. Please put your name against an item if possible. If you can help with setting up, we will meet at 4pm on Saturday 3 October to bring tables in from the hall, and again at 9am on Sunday 4 October to lay the tablecloths and get everything ready. Please speak to Tish if you are able to help.
As we move into this new season, may we continue to be a community that welcomes, forgives, encourages, serves and celebrates together. There is so much to be thankful for, from the generosity shown through Together Tea, to the beauty of God’s creation, to the friendships formed on our walks, and the many people who give their time and gifts to make Christ Church the community it is. I am grateful for each one of you and for all that you bring to the life of Christ Church West Wimbledon.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at our 8am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion, 10am Parish Eucharist or 6.30pm Evensong.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
Last week, I had the privilege of conducting the funeral of the father of someone who lives within our parish. It was a moving occasion, and I felt honoured to be entrusted with leading the family and friends through such an important moment. Funerals inevitably make us pause and reflect on our own mortality. Yet, as Christians, knowing that our earthly lives are finite need not make us fearful. Instead, it can encourage us to ask a life-giving question: How are we using the life God has given us?
Jesus calls us to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13–16). We are here not simply to exist, but to bring hope, goodness, compassion and light to the people and places God has entrusted to us. At the funeral, I heard many warm and moving reflections about the deceased. He had made a real difference to the lives of those around him. In his workplace, he stood up for colleagues, supported people through difficult situations and advocated for those who needed someone to speak on their behalf. Those who gathered spoke of him with genuine affection and respect. It made me reflect on the following questions: What difference are we making? Whose life is better because we have been part of it? Where are we bringing light? Who knows that they are loved, valued or supported because of something we have said or done?
Every day gives us another opportunity to love, serve, encourage, forgive, stand up for someone who needs us and bring something of the light of Christ into the lives of those around us. Our lives are gifts from God. Perhaps each morning we can simply pray: “Here I am, Lord. How can you use me today?”
That brings me to another part of the life of Christ Church which is very close to my heart, prayer. Every Wednesday at 12 noon, Mair, Marion, Carol and I gather at Christ Church to pray, and we have been doing so faithfully for the past three years. We begin, as all good Anglican prayer meetings should, with tea, biscuits and a little conversation! Then we pray the Midday Office, bringing before God the people of Christ Church West Wimbledon, our parish, those who are sick or in any kind of need, and situations around our world where peace, justice and healing are desperately needed. There is something wonderfully powerful about stopping in the middle of the week, putting everything else aside and simply coming before God together.
These three women are among the quiet prayerful pillars of our church and although we are a small group, this ministry is certainly not small. Jesus says: “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20 We have certainly experienced the truth of those words and, over these three years, we have seen many answers to prayer. Thank you, Mair, Marion and Carol, and all who regularly pray for Christ Church for your faithful prayer ministry.
I am reminded of the remarkable story of the Hebrides Revival of 1949–1952. On the Isle of Lewis, Peggy Smith, aged 84 and blind, and her sister Christine Smith, aged 82 and suffering from severe arthritis, faithfully prayed for their community and for spiritual renewal. Their little cottage became a place of prayer as they sought God and interceded for the people around them. God answered their prayers and people who had drifted away from church began returning, lives were changed and many came to faith in Christ. What began with two sisters faithfully seeking God became part of a remarkable movement of spiritual renewal across the island. Their story is a wonderful reminder that none of us needs to feel that we are too old, too young, too busy, too frail or too limited to make a difference through prayer. Peggy and Christine could not do everything, but they could pray, and they did. God used their faithful prayers in ways they could never have imagined. We cannot manufacture revival, nor can we presume to know exactly what God will do but every one of us can pray. Wherever we are, whatever our circumstances, whatever stage of life, we can bring our church, our community and our world before God.
And so I want to extend a warm invitation to you. If you would like to join us on a Wednesday at noon, you would be very welcome. You don’t have to come every week. Perhaps you could join us occasionally when you are able. Come for the prayer, come for the fellowship, come for the tea and biscuits! Come simply because you would like to spend some time seeking God with us.
But you don’t have to be at church at noon on Wednesday to pray for Christ Church. I would love us to become a church where prayer is woven naturally into the rhythm of our everyday lives. You can pray wherever you are, in the morning with your first cup of tea, on the train to work, during a lunchtime walk, in the quiet of the evening or in your bed before you sleep. However and wherever you pray, please remember Christ Church West Wimbledon in your prayers. Pray for our congregation, those who are struggling, those who are seeking faith, our children and young people and a leader for them, our parish and community, our ministry and mission, and all those who come through our doors. Pray that God will lead us into the future he has prepared for us.
Whether you pray with us at church or quietly at home, you are part of the prayer life of Christ Church.
The words spoken to God’s people in Scripture encourage us: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then I will hear from heaven.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
What might God do through the prayers of Christ Church West Wimbledon? I don’t know. But I am excited to find out. As St Paul reminds us, God is able to do “far more than all we can ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at our 8.00am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion, 10.00am service with baptism, or 6.30pm Evensong.
So let us pray boldly.
Let us pray faithfully.
Let us pray expectantly.
Because every prayer matters.
May God bless you, keep you and fill you afresh with his Holy Spirit. And may he make each one of us salt and light wherever he has placed us.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
The Church of England Online Service on 26 July was led by Christ Church and has been wonderfully well received. Since the service was broadcast, I have been deeply encouraged by the many emails, messages and comments from people who have written to say how much the service blessed and strengthened them in their faith. Thanks be to God!
The service reached many thousands of people online and prompted hundreds of encouraging comments and messages from across the country and beyond. We give thanks because every view represents someone who has had the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful opportunity for Christ Church to share something of the warmth, faith and welcome that characterise our church family and, above all, to point people to Jesus. What a privilege it has been for Christ Church to play a small part in lifting high the name of Jesus and sharing His love with so many people.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks once again to everyone who took part in the service. In particular, thank you to Tish Mousell and Felicity Banks for sharing their faith so openly and honestly through their personal testimonies; to Richard Vaughan-Payne and Jenny Tomlinson for reading the Scriptures so beautifully; to Mair Ragbliati for leading our prayers so thoughtfully; and to Godfrey Banks for taking part in the responsories. Everyone’s contributions are greatly appreciated and have blessed many people. I am truly grateful for their willingness to serve Christ so faithfully.
If you haven’t yet watched the service, I warmly encourage you to do so. Perhaps you might also like to share it with a friend, neighbour or family member. You never know how God might use a simple invitation. Link above.
Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well. As I write this, I am enjoying a few days on retreat. It has been a precious opportunity to step away from the busyness of ministry to spend time in prayer, worship and seeking God. Throughout Scripture we see God’s servants intentionally setting aside time to seek Him. Moses met with God on the mountain, and Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray and spend time with His Father. Their example reminds us that we all need moments of reflection to listen for God’s voice and be renewed in His presence. Thank you for allowing me this time. Please be assured that I have been praying for you all, taking our electoral roll with me and holding each one of you before the Lord by name. I look forward to returning refreshed and renewed, ready to continue serving alongside you as together we seek to know Christ and make Him known.
Recently, I had the privilege of attending Bishop Christopher’s Farewell Valedictory Eucharist.at Southwark Cathedral. It was a deeply moving service, giving thanks for his years of faithful ministry to the Diocese of Southwark.
As I reflect, one moment in particular has stayed with me. At the conclusion of the service, Bishop Christopher knelt before the altar while fellow bishops gently removed his mitre and chasuble and laid them upon the altar, symbolising the laying down of the office he has faithfully held for so many years. He then entrusted his crozier to Bishop Rosemarie, who will faithfully lead the Diocese until our next Diocesan Bishop is appointed.
It was a powerful reminder that Christian leadership is never about holding on to position or status. Rather, it is about serving faithfully for a season, equipping others, and then letting go with grace when God calls us to do so. It also reminded me of something I have long believed, that is; how we leave matters just as much as how we begin.
Throughout my own career and ministry, whenever I have moved on from a role, I have always tried to leave well, to complete the work entrusted to me, to hand things over carefully, to thank those who have served alongside me, and to leave relationships stronger than I found them.
In every area of life, whether in our work, our volunteering, our friendships or our ministry, we have opportunities to leave a legacy of encouragement, gratitude and grace. None of us knows where God will lead us next, but we can all seek to leave behind relationships that have been strengthened, people who have been encouraged, and communities that are better equipped to flourish. Jesus’ words to the faithful servant are words I hope we all long to hear one day:
“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” Matthew 25:23
Please do pray for Bishop Christopher as he begins this new chapter of retirement, giving thanks for all he has contributed to our Diocese over many years. May God richly bless him in the years ahead.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
The Kingdom Grows Because God’s Love Never Gives Up
Matthew 13:31–33, 44–52 and Romans 8:26–39
Thank you for supporting the Christ Church Fair Trade Stall last year. Together we bought over £1,875 of fairly traded goods (that’s a lot of chocolate)! We made a profit of £372 and donated £370 to church funds. You may be aware that chocolate prices have risen due to poor harvests in West Africa, mainly due to extreme weather patterns. We realise this affects our chocolate-loving customers but not nearly as much as the farmers. Thank you for helping us trade differently and support producers in lower income countries – a small step towards justice for the world’s poor.
We really need help with ordering and stock taking. If you’d like to help please get in touch below. Thank you.
There are many ways to take an active role in our worship and community life. If you feel called to help by: Reading the Bible, leading prayers, serving or offering the chalice, helping with refreshments, stewarding or assisting in any other way, please sign up on the sheets at the back of the church, email our administrator, or feel free to speak with Tish or with I. We would love to involve you in the ministry and life of our church.
If you’d like prayer for any matter whatsoever, please know that we are always honoured to pray with and for you.
• Email ccparishoffice@yahoo.co.uk if you would like your name included in the notice sheet and prayed for during the service.
• Write a prayer note and place it on the board next to the prayer corner. A small but faithful group meets in church every Wednesday at 12pm to pray for us all at Christ Church and our Community, and we include all new notes left on the board. Notes can be anonymous if you prefer.
• Speak to Rev Lotwina after the service, or email her ccww.vicar@gmail.com
Please do reach out, your concerns, joys, and needs matter deeply to us.
Every Wednesday at 12pm, a small group of us gathers in the church for Midday Prayer. We begin with tea, biscuits, and conversation, then spend time praying for the needs of the world, our parish, and our Church. Though we are small in number, we are reminded of Jesus’ words: “Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20)
We give thanks that we have seen so many prayers answered, and it is truly encouraging. Please feel free to join us. We would love to welcome you!
We are a group that promote caring for God’s earth. If you’re interested in finding out how to get involved contact Lucy Christie via the Parish Office to find out more.
The Raynes Park Bereavement Service has been operating for 10 years and has supported around 550 people locally. The service receives most of its referrals from local GP surgeries.

If you would like to consider this opportunity, or make use of the service, please contact us on 07914263420 or email raynesparkbereavement@gmail.com
After our service last week, many of you kindly shared with me how the image of carrying weights and the invitation not to hold on to worry given during our sermon resonated with you. Together we reflected on what it means to place our burdens into Jesus’ hands: to pray more, to live in the present, to share one another’s loads, and to pray with gratitude and thanksgiving.
I am so thankful for the openness and depth of those conversations. Our scripture reading encouraged us to “look at the birds” and notice God’s loving care in creation. My sermon entitled “The weight we were never meant to carry” is attached for anyone who missed it or would like to revisit it.

By the mid 1850s, with the arrival of the railway, Wimbledon had grown from a village to a thriving town. The growing population needed a new place of worship. So, an appeal was launched to build a new church. £6,000 was raised, the church built and on 15 August 1859 the Bishop of London dedicated the new chapel-of-ease…
Raynes Park Bereavement was set up by Christ Church as part of its outreach programme in 2014. There are 12 volunteers who meet with people who have been bereaved on a one-to- one basis. The service receives most of its referrals (about 60 per year) from local GP surgeries. If you (or anyone you know who lives in the area) would like to make use of our service, please call 07914 263420 or email raynesparkbereavement@gmail.com
