Welcome back. We’ve missed you!

We’d like to share some good news with you.

We’re glad to report that – in line with Government and Diocesan regulations – Christ Church Esher has now re-opened for private prayer and reflection (for individuals or those from the same household).

It’s a very welcome step along the road of the easing of coronavirus restrictions, and we know that being able to pray again in this sacred space will bring solace and strength to many.

On Tuesday mornings at 9.00am, Becky Warner, one of our Occasional Preachers, leads a time of Bible reflection and prayer. There’s a discussion of the lectionary reading of the day, followed by shared prayer. 

All are welcome to join this informal weekly Zoom gathering which finishes-up around 10.00am. Please contact Becky (Rebecca.warner@gmail.com) or the Parish Office (office@esherparish.org.uk) for the Zoom sign-in details.

On account of the Coronavirus we’ve had to suspend all public worship and close our church buildings, but we continue to be a community of prayer and service. Now, perhaps more than ever, we are called to keep our focus on the things that truly matter – love of God and love of neighbour.

Daily Hope Helpline

The Church of England has launched a 'Daily Hope' phone line which offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England all at the end of a telephone line. The line – which is available 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044 – has been set up particularly with those unable to join online church services in mind during this period of restriction. Calls are free.
