THIS SUNDAY! STAINES-UPON-THAMES DAY | SUNDAY 29 JUNE, 11AM-5PM

Staines- upon - Thames Day is an annual event where local organisations can showcase what they do and interact with the public. It is held in the town centre, along the high street and in the Memorial Gardens with stalls and stages where people can come and interact. This year as a church we are taking part and gathering here on Sunday! We have booked a stall in the memorial gardens and a busking slot on the High Street. Come join us! If you can help, details & sign up HERE

 

PARKING FOR SUNDAYS

The school has begun building works on the field area, which includes several projects - one of which involves demolishing a couple of buildings. These works are scheduled to continue until September 2026. As a result, the entire school car park will be out of use, as it's needed for contractor access and equipment storage. This means we won't be able to use the car park on Sundays for the foreseeable future.

We're currently exploring alternative parking arrangements, but in the meantime, we're directing everyone to park on nearby roads that are free of charge. Please see the image below for a map of these roads. Our car park team will also be at the gates on Sundays handing out flyers with the map. We're really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and are doing our best to find a better long-term solution. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Thank you for your understanding and support.

A hog roast lunch is provided as part of the day! Details & booking HERE

 

KINGDOM COME PRAYER - WALTON PRAYER WALK | MONDAY 7 JULY, 7:30PM
