Father of creation, God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the earth was formless and void, and you spoke, and life came into being. Trees and plants were raised from the earth, you formed man out of the dust from the ground. To you be all praise, honour and glory. Amen
Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and managing to keep cool in this rather unseasonably hot weather!
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
Dear Friends,
I do hope this message finds you well and enjoying these glorious summer days. Although the weather has certainly been very warm, I hope you have found opportunities to rest, enjoy God’s beautiful creation, and spend time with those you love. As I look back over the past week or two, I am struck by the many different ways God has been at work among us, in worship, service, friendship and community. There is always much for which to give thanks.
Our Christ Church youth group, the Kung Fu Hamsters (KFH), enjoyed a wonderful outing to play crazy golf. There was plenty of friendly competition and lots of laughter. It was a closely contested match, but far more important than the final scores was the joy of spending time together, building friendships and creating happy memories. A huge thank you to Tish and Alice for giving up their time to accompany and encourage our young people. Please continue to pray for our children and young people as they grow in faith, confidence and friendship and for their leaders too.
In between Deanery Synod, Diocesan Synod and Bishop Martin’s Garden Party for ordained women, I was fortunate enough to spend a day at The Tennis Championships, Wimbledon. Whenever I visit Wimbledon, I find myself reflecting not only on the extraordinary talent displayed at the tournament, but also on the unseen years of dedication that make those moments possible. Every elegant forehand, courageous comeback and match victory is built upon years of perseverance, discipline, resilience and determination. Success rarely happens overnight!
It reminds me that the Christian life is much the same. Most of our discipleship happens away from the spotlight, in our daily prayers, bible study, quiet acts of kindness, service to others and our willingness to keep trusting God through every season of life.
The writer to the Hebrews encourages us: “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” Hebrews 12:1–2
The past few weeks have also been particularly busy across our Diocese and I’ve attended many meetings including Deanery Synod, Diocesan Synod, and the Ordained Women’s Gathering hosted by Bishop Martin of Kingston. I would like to thank John Davey, Pat Spencer and Sue Catchpole, who faithfully represent Christ Church on Deanery Synod where matters affecting the life and mission of churches across our deanery are discussed. Pat and Sue joined me at last week’s deanery synod end of term social gathering. As one of the Kingston clergy representatives on Diocesan Synod, I also had the privilege of attending Bishop Christopher’s final Diocesan Synod before his retirement. It was a moving occasion as we reflected on his faithful ministry and gave thanks for his years of leadership, wisdom and service within the Diocese of Southwark. Please do remember Bishop Christopher in your prayers as he prepares for a new chapter in this life and ministry.
I would like to ask for your prayers for our wonderful Parish Administrator, Sara Taylor, who is currently unwell and taking some time away from work. Sara quietly does so much behind the scenes to keep the life of Christ Church running smoothly, and we miss her greatly. Please pray that she will know God’s healing, peace and strength in the days ahead. While Sara is away, Naomi Lowe, Pat Spencer and I are sharing the administrative work between us. I am so grateful to Naomi and Pat for so willingly stepping in to help. Please bear with us if things take a little longer than usual (or do not materialize) while we find our feet. If you are missing a document or you need some admin help, please contact Pat, I or our wardens and we will do our best. Thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding.
As I reflect on the past fortnight, I see one common thread running through it all: faithful people serving God with joy.
Whether representing Christ Church at diocesan meetings, investing in our young people, caring for our community, supporting one another behind the scenes, or simply offering kindness in everyday life, each one of us has a part to play in building God’s Kingdom.
As St Paul reminds us: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
Thank you for all that you do to make Christ Church such a joyful, welcoming and faithful church family.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at our 8am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion, our 10am Parish Eucharist with the Baptism of Hugo and our Junior Church Celebration, or at 6.30pm Evensong.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
The Seed That Finds Good Soil
Scripture: Matthew 13.1–9, 18–23; Romans 8.1–11
Dear Friends,
I do hope this message finds you well. As I reflect on last weekend, my heart is full of gratitude. Time and again I am reminded what a joy it is to serve as your Vicar and to witness the many ways in which God is at work through our church family. Whether through worship, hospitality, friendship or outreach, we continue to seek to share Christ’s love with one another and with our local community.
Last Saturday evening, our church hall was filled with lively conversation as we hosted a screening of the groundbreaking film entitled: The People’s Emergency Briefing. The film was both thought-provoking and inspiring, encouraging us to reflect on our shared responsibility to care for God’s creation and to consider how each of us can make a difference, however small. The discussion facilitated by Professor Mary Ann Bown that followed was rich, respectful and engaging, with many people sharing their thoughts and experiences. It was especially encouraging to welcome members of our local community, including one of the newly elected Councillor’s, for our ward, Jan Comer, who joined us for the evening.
A huge thank you to our wonderful Eco Church Team for organising such a successful event whose commitment and vision continue to help Christ Church live out the Fifth Mark of Mission by caring for God’s creation. Thank you to Professor MaryAnn Bown, Stefan Bown, Professor Nick Robins, Conservator Sue Bucknall, Graham Bucknall, Dr Lucy Christie, Professor Ian Christie, Naomi Lowe, Marion Stewart, Professor Ron Barnett, Paul Sinclair, Timothy Dabbs, Tish Mousell and all involved for the hard work in planning and hosting the evening.
As Scripture reminds us: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” Psalm 24:1
Sunday afternoon brought another highlight as we gathered for our Christ Church Summer Garden Party. What a glorious afternoon it was! The sun shone, the garden looked beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying one another’s company. There was something for everyone: delicious sandwiches, homemade cakes, strawberries, Pimms, cups of tea, giant Jenga, garden games, plenty of laughter and, above all, wonderful fellowship. Church is so much more than the services we attend; it is about building relationships, welcoming newcomers and sharing life together.
Sunday’s garden party captured that beautifully. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone who worked so hard to make the afternoon such a success, including those who planned it, set everything up beforehand, prepared food and refreshments, set down afterwards, chatted to guests and stayed behind to pack everything away. In particular, I would like to thank: Mark Tish, Dee, Tim, Tracy, Elaine, Jane, Bertha, Natalie and Storm. Thank you also to the gardening team who ensured our garden looked glorious, and all who brought games, bought ice, or helped in any way. Your generosity, teamwork and servant-heartedness are deeply appreciated.
As St Peter encourages us: “Each of us should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
As I reflect on the past week, I am struck by how many different ways we have been able to share God’s love, with our community through the Eco Church film, with one another through the Garden Party, and with our neighbouring church through worship together. These moments may seem ordinary, but they are how God’s Kingdom grows: one conversation, one act of hospitality, one invitation, one shared meal and one prayer at a time. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
Thank you for all that you do to make Christ Church such a welcoming, joyful and faithful community. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at our 8am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion our 10am All-Age Service or our 6.30pm Evensong.
With love and every blessing,
Lotwina
The Cup of Cold Water
Sermon for Trinity 4 Matthew 10.40-42 and Romans 6.12-23
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. We have 10 volunteers and are looking for more to help with our valuable work. 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.
Gospel Reading: Matthew 6 vs 25 to 34 New Testament Reading: Romans 8 vs18 to 25
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

We are here to help you if you would like to hold a funeral service in church for your loved one. It is not necessary for the deceased or their family to have been church goers. We can also conduct a full funeral service at a crematorium for those who live in the parish of Christ Church. It is usual for the funeral director to make direct contact with us but please contact the Parish Office
if you have any queries.
We are always pleased to discuss marriage with those who live in the parish of Christ Church or who can establish a Qualifying Connection with Christ Church.

life. Please contact the Parish Office ccparishoffice@yahoo.co.uk to discuss.
Baptisms are conducted on Sunday mornings either during the 10am service on the first Sunday of the month or at 12 noon on a convenient Sunday.
