Everyone Welcome. We offer a variety of activities and clubs during the week, from tennis, mother and toddler groups, Bible studies to musical societies.
Please ask at the Church for further information.
Alpha
We have run two Alpha Courses at SH which have been well received. As the above ALPHA logo says, there is more to life than this and the ALPHA Course gives us time to work out for ourselves in the relaxed company of others exactly what that is. The opportunity to ask the difficult questions such as:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why did he die?
- How can I have faith?
- How do I pray?
- Why and how do I read the Bible?
- Who is the Holy Spirit?
Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Everyone’s welcome – we intend to run another course in Spring 2027. No matter your background or beliefs, you’re invited.
The Alpha Course has been run recently; click on the link to read more about this.
Bible Study
One of the (if not the) most important ways we can grow as Christians is to study God’s word as it is written in the Bible. All are welcome to join a group of people who meet together most Wednesday mornings between 10-11.30am and Wednesday evenings between 7.30-9.00pm. We reflect on the previous Sunday’s service and study the Bible passages used in the service, but in more depth than the service time allows.
We try to more fully understand what the Bible tells us and, in our time together, have grown as a fellowship where we can share our faith, our thoughts and really enjoy each other’s company. As a closing act we have time of prayer for our concerns.
Choir
The choir, although small in numbers, supports the Sunday morning service by giving a good, strong lead to the hymn singing, encouraging the congregation to sing with confidence. Favourite and meaningful times are when we sing during the administration of Holy Communion, and at the special services at Christmas and Easter. The choir meets before the morning service at 9.45am to rehearse the hymns so that we can avoid any pitfalls! If there are special services or a concert coming up, we meet on Friday mornings for an hour of extra rehearsal time. We welcome singers in all voices to join us.
Craft and Chat
A small group meets once a month on Thursdays, 2-4pm, to share their love of craft in all its forms. Come and join us for knitting, cross stitch, drawing, cutting out, colouring-in and card making, or just come to chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Ladies Badminton
Ladies badminton meets on Wednesday afternoons at 1:30pm in the upper hall. New members are welcome.
Midweek Holy Communion
An opportunity for those who wish to receive Holy Communion during the week. On the first Wednesday of each month, starting at 10.30am, it is followed by refreshments and a time to talk together.
Network Fellowship
Network is a popular and lively group for men and women which meets fortnightly on Monday afternoons. Members are entertained by a variety of speakers, concerts or members’ afternoons where we discuss a wide variety of topics, ending with tea, biscuits and a chat. The programme is advertised in the monthly newsletter and weekly notices.
Oasis Stay & Play
Oasis Under 5’s Stay and Play is the toddler group at Surbiton Hill which has been running at the church for over 50 years. A place where parents, carers and children in our community can relax and socialise with others. We meet every week during termtime. During the summer months we move to the church tennis club in Manor Drive where we can enjoy the outdoor facilities such as a climbing frame, play-house and plenty of space for sand, water play and other outdoor activities.
There is a charge of £2.00 per session for each family or childminding group.
Prayer time on Zoom
A short time of prayer on Zoom on Mondays starting at 7.00pm.
Tennis
The church is fortunate to own a tennis club and information about this can be found here.
