Winter is coming

This winter (after two years break due to covid health restrictions) we will once again be hosting homeless guests at Holy Spirit. The Robes night shelter is an enormously rewarding way to make a difference locally. We will be hosting Saturday night and Sunday morning for the first three weekends in December (3/4 Dec, 10/11 Dec, 17/18 Dec), and possibly the last weekend (31 December/1 January).

We are looking for volunteers to help out.  Training and support are provided and there is always an experienced Team Leader on hand.

After Church Tea and Coffee

We all enjoy having a coffee and chat after the Sunday service, so it would be great if we could get some help to make this happen each week. On Sunday there will be a rota at the back of the church to sign up for one week or for a regular slot, please volunteer to do whatever you can.

For anyone who has not volunteered before, Kathryn can show you where everything is and talk you through the coffee machine (v easy!)

On Sunday 15th May 2022, we held a Big Brekkie fundraiser for Christian Aid Week.

With Alan Mundy, Katie Pollock and Biddy Taylor staffing the stove, two batches of Kathryn Newell’s mouth-watering muffins, and Andrew Chevis crewing the card reader, an early-rising team gathered a whopping £512.

To everyone who grilled, baked or munched, many many thanks on behalf of Christian Aid.

After popular demand for its return, we are looking to meet again to chat about theology thoughts and drink things together (BYO for both)!

Past topics have included Teaching, Eucharist and the Sacraments, vocation and many more. It is a great opportunity to think more deeply about our faith and beliefs and to work through these things with others.

Choral scholarships

Holy Spirit Clapham is delighted to be offering four choral scholarships (one to each voice part) starting in Autumn 2021.

These scholarships are ideal for singers with a background singing in Anglican church music who are looking to continue developing their skills on a regular basis, but may struggle to commit to a choir which performs more than once a week.
