Trinity Congregational Church, Brixton

I was heading to London for the meeting of the council of the Congregational Federation and by arrangement visited Trinity Brixton on Thursday 16th November 2017. I was invited by the minister, Revd Alan Argent to come and talk about what I saw as the way forward for Congregationalists in this ever changing world. We enjoyed a meal together, some good discussion and fellowship.
It was good to visit and I pray that the substantial renovations of the main worship area in the church go to plan.

Sunday 29th October might be a familiar date to you. It was Reformation Sunday where we commemorated the life and work of Martin Luther and his influence over the way we Congregationalists  developed.

I was delighted to have been invited to Tapton Hill Congregational Church where there was a day of commemoration involving churches of different traditions. There was worship and workshops that involved singing Reformation hymns, bible studies and craft. There was a wonderful atmosphere and it was so good to see other denominations coming to the Congregational Church to be part of the day.

And in true Congregational style, the afternoon concluded with a meal. We gathered at table and enjoyed fellowship and a German themed meal!

Grateful thanks to Revd Suzanne Nockels and congregation for inviting me. It was a marvelous occasion.
