St Mark's Church Wimbledon

Wimbledon Christmas Toy Swap

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 23:08:19 GMT

Wednesday 18th November from 7.30pm at Wimbledon Library.

St Mark’s church is partnering with The Big Toy Swap Campaign to promote a more sustainable Christmas. We are aiming to rehome as may toys as possible: saving families money, reducing waste, and encouraging people to be proud of pre-loved presents. We are making toys a part of the circular economy and sustainable living, by regifting for others to enjoy!

The Wimbledon Christmas Toy Swap will take place on Wednesday 18th November from 7.30pm at Wimbledon Library.

Register here: Wimbledon Christmas Toy Swap Tickets, Tuesday 17 November • 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM | Eventbrite

You can also donate toys for the swap at St Mark’s Church on Saturday 14th November, 9am to 11.30am.

Please make sure

Items are clean, in good condition, CE marked in working order and have all their parts (we’ll turn away anything that doesn’t meet these standards).

If battery powered - make sure they’re charged/include batteries so people can check they work.

This scheme looks at how we care for God’s world through our worship, buildings, land, and community engagement. It is a brilliant reflection of the small, steady changes we’ve been making, and provides a foundation for us to build upon.

A massive thanks to everyone who contributed, from Saturday morning litter picks to supporting the Repair Café initiative to simply praying for our environment. It’s an encouraging milestone on our ongoing journey to care for creation.

Please pray and fast for Gaza

Praying and fasting for Gaza

Bishop Christopher sent us this message earlier in the week: Our dear friend and colleague Richard Sewell, the Dean of St George’s College in Jerusalem, is inviting people to join him in fasting in solidarity with Gazans every Wednesday, beginning on 21st May. Please consider joining Richard by fasting in whatever way you can - using the time to pray for food and aid supplies to get into the region and meet the needs of those who are suffering so terribly. Please be sensible in fasting, doing only as much as you can manage and following medical advice, where necessary. If you do join in, you can share what you’re doing on social media by using the hashtag #fastforgaza.

Food Bank Donations Wimbledon

Food bank donations at St Mark's

The DONS are often outside our local supermarkets, and there is a basket in St Mark's Church entrance for donations. If you're not able to bring your donations to the church, please let me know, and I will gladly collect the items from you. Any donations of food are welcome, but the food/household items that are particularly useful are: washing powder/liquid (smaller sizes please, so they are easy to carry), tinned meat products, cooking sauces, tinned vegetables, puddings, tea, coffee, sugar, cereal and long-life milk. We are also grateful for donations of bubble bath, shower gel, deodorant, shampoo and sanitary products. Thank you for your support! Paula Thorvaldsen

We have a lunch hour service every Wednesday in the small Chapel at 1pm. It lasts about half an hour. It consists of prayer, a short homily followed by communion in a relaxed environment. After the service there is a time for fellowship. Everyone is welcome.

Others who have taken services for us include Alastair Newman, Curate of St Matthews, Raynes Park and Nils Bersweden, the Associate Vicar at St Mary’s.
