During Lent 2017 we organised Lent groups, bringing together people from our member churches to share and deepen their Faith through discussion and reflection. This year the groups followed the York course entitled "Receiving Christ in five different ways". The groups met in different churches, at different times during the week, to make them as accessible as possible for those taking part.
On Sunday 8th January 2017 Churches Together in Eastcote organised a "Follow the Star" event to mark Epiphany. A group of adults and children made a journey through Eastcote, following a star and visiting four of our member churches, where they enjoyed different activities. Statues of the Three Kings were carried from church to church, finally finding their home in the crib at St Thomas More, where the journey concluded with a short service and refreshments for all.

A wonderfully festive evening, with songs, a poem and music from our various churches, a brief service, as well as plenty of carols. Retiring offerings were for the Passage (London).
