Lenten reflections: What is truth?

Churches Together in Putney and Roehampton (CTPR) have once again worked hard this year to put together a series of Lenten reflections entitled ‘What is truth?'.

The sessions will take place every Thursday evening from 25 February for five weeks (via Zoom) at 7:30 pm and anyone is welcome to join. Each session will be led by a different speaker, reflecting on the challenge truth telling in five different fields: science, the media, politics, the arts, and the Church. Please see here for more details.

'Putney 1870' exhibition

2020 marks the 150th anniversary of Putney Methodist Church, which first opened its door in 1870. We had a whole host of events and activities planned to mark this special year, including a production of Jesus Christ Superstar at Easter and a celebration service in November. Sadly, however, COVID-19 had other ideas! We hope to stage at least some of these events in the future, when the restrictions are lifted.

One event we definitely hope to hold next year is an exhibition about Putney in 1870 that our organist, David Armstrong, has painstakingly researched and put together. It will show a fascinating insight into life in Putney at that time, as well as details of our church's interesting history. David has kindly put together a taster of what we can expect, visible here. We look forward to seeing the whole thing before too long. (For more details of the church's history, see here.)

Making a difference

COVID poster

During this very difficult time of the Coronavirus Pandemic, our church, like so many others, has worked hard to support its community. We have opened up our services with online worship provided on Youtube. For details see here. The Church also agreed that it wished to make a significant financial contribution to help people across the world. So, in addition to its regular giving it agreed to make donations of £500 to the local Wandsworth Foodbank, £500 to the Trussell Trust (which co-ordinates the national work of Foodbanks) and £1,000 to Christian Aid, which is working with some of the most vulnerable people in the world. We sincerely hope these donations will make a difference to those in need.
