> On 31st October 2025, our church family spent the evening on the streets, offering hot chocolate and goodie bags to everyone out enjoying Halloween. We met families, children, and neighbours, many of whom stopped for a chat and a drink. The simple gesture of a hot chocolate opened doors for meaningful conversations about life, faith, and the church. The children loved their goodie bags, which included treats and a friendly invitation to our weekly services.

On **31st October 2025**, our church family spent the evening on the streets in Tolworth, offering **hot chocolate and goodie bags** to everyone out enjoying Halloween on the Sunray Estate in Surbiton.

We met families, children, and neighbours, many of whom stopped for a chat and a drink. The simple gesture of a hot chocolate opened doors for meaningful conversations about life, faith, and the church. The children loved their goodie bags, which included treats and a friendly invitation to our weekly services.

We also shared exciting news about our new** ****[Tots group in Tolworth](/hope-tots)**, starting in November 2026 — a welcoming space for parents and young children to connect, play, and build friendships.

If we met you that night, we’d love to see you again—whether at our [Sunday service](/about) or our new [Tots group](/hope-tots). Let’s keep building a community of warmth and welcome together.
