Christmas collections
I would like to thank everyone who kindly contributed to the special collections after the Christingle, Carols by Candlelight and Christmas Day services. As a result of your generosity we have been able to send cheques for £408.43 to The Children's Society, and £619.40 to Spurgeon's (with a request that it be used to support counselling services in West Sussex).

Crawley Millennium Concert Band Christmas Concert
A big thank you to the church and all who came to the band’s Christmas concert last month. I have just sent a donation for £1000.00 to Pancreatic Cancer UK as a result of the donations made at the concert. Thank you very much indeed.

Youth Praise Night
On Saturday 31st January 2026 from 6:45 – 9:15pm the first West Sussex Youth Praise Night will be held at Trafalgar Road Baptist Church. This will be an evening focused on worship, prayer, and fellowship, giving young people aged 14+ from across West Sussex the chance to encounter God and connect with other young Christians. The night will include a time of worship, a short talk, and time to hang out with puddings and drinks available before the event. All young people are welcome.
Church Eco-group
As you may be aware the Church Eco Group that once helped this church achieve silver eco church status has lost many members. In fact, it's mostly just me now! Personally, I think this cause is crucial for our children and grandchildren.
I'm asking if you could all prayerfully consider if you could commit some time to join this group. I imagine we may meet annually and each commit to a few activities each year such as putting notices about green living in the bulletin.
Please catch me after church or email me if you can help out in any way.
