Mission Partners 

We are currently supporting these Mission Partners through prayer and financial support and hold gift days each year for CMS and St Michael's. 

Denis Ruhama - Gift Day 31 May 2026

Denis is the new principal at Janani Luwum Theological college, Gulu, Uganda, replacing our previous Mission Partner Sarah Cawdell in March 2026. We will continue supporting the ministry in Gulu by adopting Denis as our new Mission Partner. His salary cannot be fully funded by the college which trains ministers from often poor backgrounds, so we will be supporting him financially and prayerfully.

We will be having a gift Day for him on Sunday 31 May when we welcome Sarah and Simon Cawdell to a service at St Mark's at 11am.

St Michael's Church Sheerwater 

IMG 0770 St Michael’s is a shared Anglican and Methodist church situated in Sheerwater, one of the most deprived estates in Surrey. It is under a Bishop’s Mission Order which gives special emphasis and support for undertaking mission to develop a distinctive Christian community.

Sheerwater is currently undergoing a large regeneration project, rebuilding social housing and other community facilities, but with Woking Borough Council's financial problems these have been put on hold, as has the building of a new community facility in which St Michael’s church will be housed which is now looking for funding from elsewhere. 

St Michael’s is a small, but growing church, very involved in the local community with groups such as:

  • Pop-up café for primary children with tea, games, crafts and a bible story
  • A toddler praise service
  • A Church On Wednesday group which is a Christianity basics course, attended by young mums
  • A monthly community Sunday lunch for the elderly and isolated

Our parish have joined the friends of St Michael’s to help fund and support in person the mission and ministry of St Michael’s and support them in prayer. An newsletter from June 2025 is available to read and a video from their vicar Rev Gillaine Holland in November 2024 is available to watch.
