This section concentrates mainly on 'special events', or events that run for a short time at our church or nearby.
To view the regular weekly and monthly events at this church, please take a look at the KURC monthly calendar; and for a wider mix of interesting events, please see the latest edition of the The Back Page
The Worshipful the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Councillor Ian McDonald formally opened this new facility at 10am on Tuesday 27th April. This initiative has been partly funded by the Mayor's charity fund to help the homeless. This fund links with the work of Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness and many other churches in the town.
A new edition of the The Back Page is produced with the weekly Service Paper and keeps us aware of relevant ideas, news and events happening beyond our church premises. Here is the previous week's edition.

View back copies of the church magazine:
2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
This monthly publication varying from 16 to 28 pages of news, faith matters, announcements of events, listings, pastoral news, debates, photos and jokes is produced by an editorial group who rotate the task, and who may stamp their imprint on the content and format, in turn. The young people in the church sometimes edit an edition.
Everyone is invited to make contributions to Church News which should be with the editor by the second Sunday of the month.
Church News comes out towards the end of the month. Church neighbours are responsible for its distribution, though many people pick up their copy at the back of the church, where it awaits them. It is read by all members and friends, and for some, it forms the only contact they have with events in the church. Foyer visitors make sure they read it over their coffee.
Paper copies are available in A4 size and a large print version is available in A3 should you wish to have a large print copy instead. Church members and friends are kindly asked to contribute £1 per copy to help meet printing costs.
Church News is also published on the website a few days after it has been published in traditional format. The RSS feed on the browser will let you know when the latest edition becomes available electronically.
This is the most recent monthly calendar and this is the calendar for next month (subject to change!).
(And if you're interested - here's what happened last month!)
