West Croydon & Croydon SDA Churches Unite for Gospel Outreach at Thornton Heath Festival 2024
This year, for the Thornton Heath Festival, West Croydon and Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Churches joined forces for the gospel, providing a health, literature, and craft expo on Sunday, 8th September 2024, from 12 pm to 6 pm. Led by the Personal Ministries departments, Tony Young and Annadine Atkinson, along with other leaders, including Pastor Jesse Samuel, they shared the love of God through free health checks, literature distribution, and craft activities, allowing passers-by to receive and participate.
The council’s Civic Mayor, Councillor Kola Agboola, was most impressed and pleased with the work the churches were doing and congratulated them on their positive impact on the community. The churches, located just five minutes apart, collaborated by pooling their resources and offering the evangelistic services they provide throughout the week, including prayers for those in need.
The overall effort was a success, and both churches look forward to future collaborations to advance the gospel in the Croydon area. The teams aim to follow up on this event by signposting individuals to their local food banks, craft café, community breakfast, and exercise clubs throughout the week.
