Good Friday 2026
Around 400 people joined us in Epsom market place between Weatherspoons and the Clocktower for the Epsom Passion Play written and directed for the 2nd year running by Susie Pottinger from Lantern Arts. The play featured the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We sang worship songs, heard an amazing Christian testimony from Chris Ball, and Duncan Owen shared the Gospel, inviting people to church and to one of a number of upcoming Alpha courses.
Good Friday 2025
Several hundred people came down to see the drama which started by the pond in Rosebery Park and later moved to various sites in the market place between Weatherspoons and the Clocktower. A personal Christian testimony was given after the drama came to an end. Revd David Senior, Guildford Anglican Diocese Mission Enabler, gave the closing address. Hundreds of Good News Newspapers were distributed, and an outreach stall displayed freely given adult and family reading and Easter craft activities. The drama was written and directed by Susie Pottinger who was thanked with a floral bouquet by Russell Holding, Chair of Churches Together in Epsom.
2024 Christmas Market Place Stall
Volunteers from many of our Epsom churches contributed to making the December outreach stall in Metro Bank Square a success. Nearly all the Nativity-focussed family activity bags were given away, whilst all the GoodNewspapers were distributed. The weather was kind and we benefitted from the unplanned arrival of carol singers from a Wallington Church. Children’s Christmas mobile and card crafts, together with biscuit decoration were some of the children's attractions on the stall.
Party in the Park 2024
The Centenary of Epsom and Ewell Rotary was marked by Party in the Park. The September sun shone and our CTiE stall in Rosebery Park was busy with face painting, origami and hedgehog crafts. We also distributed to children and families the "You matter" book from LifeWords which tells the story of the prodigal son.

2022 Christmas Market Place Stall
The Churches Together in Epsom Outreach Stall in the Town Centre on December 3rd received wonderful support from our member churches. Despite the cold weather, close to 200 of our Churches Together invitational cards, bearing a message of Good News and with access to online information about Christmas services and events across our Churches, were distributed. Literature on the true meaning of Christmas was given to many adult and children passers-by. One hundred Good News Newspapers and 44 New Testaments were also given. We were also able to promote Epsom Street Pastors, 7th Epsom Scouts Christmas Postal Service, Epsom and Ewell Warm Spaces and Emerge Advocacy. More volunteers are needed in Epsom for this much-needed work. Members of the Baptist Church collected for Dnipro Hope Mission.
