About Us
Together
in Christ is an ecumenical body, representing partner churches in the area near Guildford of Burpham, Merrow, West & East
Clandon and Sutton Park. There are several different
denominations represented. These are Anglican, Catholic,
Methodist and Baptist (the latter church community
is now based in central Guildford, but is represented).
Together
in Christ has a committee made up of clergy and lay
from the member churches. It meets every two months
in fellowship to pray together, share fellowship and
news and to plan several activities. These are activities
for the whole of the community of the member churches
and for anyone else who wishes to participate. They
include an evening act of worship together in one
of the partner churches in every month there is a
fifth Sunday, the local celebration of the Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity in January every year,
and preparation together for Easter. Usually prayer
or discussion groups are formed for a six week period
just before Easter. There are sometimes other joint
activities in this period.
Together
in Christ helps to share the Good News of Jesus Christ
in the area. One way is by distributing information
about times of services in the different churches
at Christmas and Easter, warmly inviting the community
to join in the celebration and sending greetings at
these times. We hope this website will help to make
our work more widely known.
If
you would like to be involved in the work of the committee,
why not contact the TIC representative in your church,
