Churches Together around Hampton (CTAH)
Nine churches belong to Churches Together around Hampton - two Roman Catholic, four Anglican, one Baptist, one Methodist and one United Reformed Church - each enjoying their own tradition, but also seeking to work together. Clergy from the member churches meet together several times during the year. Forum meetings, with lay representatives from the churches, are sometimes arranged and there is an AGM once a year. Shared activities include the distribution of hot cross buns to commuters in Holy Week and street collections during Christian Aid Week. Services of shared worship are hosted by the different member churches and there is often an outdoor witness at Easter or Christmas. Following the AGM at All Saints Church in January 2018, there was a beautiful Songs of Praise service with favourite hymns chosen by a representative from each of the churches. Everyone spoke so well about the reasons for their choice and it was a very special time of shared worship to celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Shared activities include the distribution of hot cross buns to commuters in Holy Week and street collections during Christian Aid Week. Services of shared worship are hosted by the different member churches and there is often an outdoor witness at Easter or Christmas. Clergy from all the member churches are on a rota for services at Laurel Dene and Marling Court and they always appreciate it when others can go along with them.
