Christian Aid 80th Anniversary Service at Westminster Abbey held on Thursday 12th June 2025 Earlier this year we remembered the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, VE Day. Following the aftermath of the horrors of the Second World War there were a lot of displaced people, prisoners of war, refugees who had fled their home country or people who had been displaced.

Moravian Church House Garden As those of you who have visited Church House in London will know, we are very fortunate to have a large front garden, and a much larger back garden.

Report from the MWA Away Day It was a pleasure to attend the Moravian Women’s Association gathering, MWA Away Day, on 3rd May 2025 with the Royton women’s circle. I first attended The Royton Moravian Church with my partner, and now husband Josh Cooper.
V E (Victory in Europe) Day 8th May 1945 Although I was only ten years of age at the time I do remember that day as it was such a special day.
