Latest News Former Ripley School Site

The Trustees have now received communication from the Department for Education (DfE) regarding the former Ripley Church of England Primary School site.

In summary the DfE is minded not to grant the Sec 554 requested by the Diocese. It proposes instead to transfer the main school site to the Local Authority (Surrey County Council) and to leave the pre-school building in the care of the site trustees.

The Trustees are carefully considering this proposal and our next steps.

 

We hold a service at 10am every Sunday

Newcomers and visitors are very welcome

 

You do not need to be confirmed or a communicant to come to any of these services. 

 

If you have any special requirements or would like more information before visiting, please contact churchwardens@ripleychurch.org.uk

 

The 1st and 3rd Sundays in a month are traditional Communion services.

 

The 2nd Sunday of the month is an all-age service which is more informal and particularly suitable for families, though everyone is very much invited!

 

The 4th Sunday in the month is a traditional service of the word (no Communion).

 

Any 5th Sunday in the month is a café style service around small tables in the church room, followed by a discussion about church life. and a group ministry service with friends in Ockham and Horsley where the location varies. See church calendar for specific dates.

 

 

A prayer for the people of the Holy Land

 

If you've been unsure how to respond to the news from Israel and Palestine, the Archbishop of Canterbury shares these words to shape our prayers. And if unsure how to support, we recommend Christian Aid, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) or Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF)

DISASTERS EMERGENCY COMMITTEE UKRAINE HUMANITARIAN APPEAL 
The war in Ukraine is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people and for the rest of the world.   People are naturally asking how we can help.  Aid agencies are beginning to ask for cash donations instead of goods as it is easier to buy emergency supplies than it is to ship them.  See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60602092.  The Disasters Emergency Appeal have launched a fundraising appeal and the UK government will match fund up to £20m.  I am therefore encouraging everyone who is able to make a donation by clicking HERE.  Let us pray for the people of Ukraine, the refugees, those who are caring for them  and for an end to hostilities

 

Our Church needs your support; it costs us £1000 a week to keep going.  Please contact us for information on giving regularly.  For one-off donations please go to:
 

 

Our Give a Little page to make any special offering to the Church.

 

We really benefit most from regular giving
and, if you are a tax payer, Gift Aid.

Thank you for your generosity
