World Mission Sunday – 18 October 2026 – (Link: missio.org.uk)

World Mission Sunday is our chance to show love and solidarity to our brothers and sisters overseas. In offering our prayers, we join with missionaries everywhere in communion and compassion to support them in spreading the Good News, and by giving a donation we respond to Christ’s call to share our faith in Jesus so that all may experience God’s love.

Your prayers and your donations on World Mission Sunday support our Church family overseas. Thank you for your support.

Updated weekly (Sunday 18/10/2026):

After the uncompromising nature of the Gospel texts in recent weeks, it is not perhaps surprising that the Pharisees should try to plot against Jesus who was almost openly preaching against them.  Again, they failed as Jesus turns their argument neatly back upon them, reminding us of the priorities which should exist in our lives.
