Alison's retirement
Earlier this year it was announced that Alison would be retiring in the autumn. Her last Sunday with us will be 5 October. Alison has been Team Vicar since 2016 and although she is based at Christ Church and St John's, she was a great support during the Team Rector vacancy, and her ministry will be missed by the whole team.
If you would like to contribute towards a gift for Alison, please see any of the Churchwardens to make a cash or contactless contribution.

School holidays
Please consider giving a donation of non-perishable food to Wimbledon Foodbank (box at Holy Trinity) or to Christian Care (collection at the back of the church at Christ Church). The school holidays are a time when demand for help increases. You can also donate money to Wimbledon Foodbank via their website. Thank you for helping.
