21 July at 11:00 Sunday Service at Swiss Church,London
Come and join us on Sunday 21 July at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service. It will be led by our Minister Reverend Carla Maurer. Her Sermon will take the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree as her starting point.
The Bible is full of great stories which are part of our cultural heritage and collective knowledge. Who hasn’t heard of Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, the creation of the world, or Jesus walking on water? Novelists and artists refer to these stories in their works, and they are popular children’s tales too. They fascinate and inspire people around the globe and across cultures, and religious affiliations.
The sermon is part of our "The greatest Hits of the Bible" sermon series, which started in January and will run until the summer break at the end of July.
In The Swiss Church, everyone is welcome to join in Communion, whatever their faith tradition might be. We worship in the Reformed tradition and have an ecumenical outlook.
Our hymns and liturgy are in English, French and German, and accompanied on the Späth organ, played by our Director of Music, Peter Yardley-Jones. The service will be conducted by our Minister Revd. Carla Maurer. The sermon is in English. Printed copies, including a large-print version will be available at the Service.
Please stay for lunch after the Service. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know people and to chat. You will be most welcome. If you would enjoy the opportunity to chat in Swiss German, or French, come and join us. We all speak English too, and a number of other languages as well. We look forward to meeting you all - friends, new and old.

London City Pilgrimage
Perhaps we associate pilgrimage rather with rural areas than with a metropolis, and yet to discover a city from a pilgrim’s perspective has its very own charm. In collaboration with Reverend Michael Schaar from the pilgrimage centre in Zurich, we invite you to put on your hiking shoes and to join us on this spiritual journey. A group from Zurich will travel to London to get to experience our city in a new light. It would be wonderful if some members of the Swiss Church and the Swiss community in London would join the group to build new friendships and tell our visitors more about life in London.
Programme
Tuesday, 27 August:
From Limehouse to Angel along Regent’s Canal. Visit of St Paul Old Ford Church, Victoria Park and St James Church.
Wednesday, 28 August:
Parkland Walk from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace. Visit of Highgate Cemetery.
Thursday, 29 August:
Meeting at the Swiss Church in London (morning). Street pilgrimage in Central London or free time (afternoon).
Friday, 30 August:
Along the Thames from Shepperton to Hampton Court (Weybridge Ferry route).
Members and friends of the Swiss Church can participate in the whole programme or join in for individual days. We ask for a donation of £10 per day. Bring your own lunch. Evening meal in a restaurant (optional).
To sign up please contact Carla (carla.maurer@swisschurchlondon.org.uk) by 15 July. We are also looking for volunteers to welcome the group at the Swiss Church on Thursday, 29 August.

"Looking Down " Photography Exhibition Andy Palfreyman
Andy Palfreyman was street homeless for 30 years after he left his parental home in Cheshire at the age of 19. He slept mostly in the streets of London in various postcodes. Life changed in 2015 after a chance conversation with an artist who had an exhibition next to the Swiss Church, where he used to come for weekly breakfast. That’s how he got his first camera and the necessary support for his artistic work.
“Photography is a way of expressing myself and how I see the world. Until 2015 I had no idea I had any artistic talent and I didn’t believe in myself. I had very little self-worth, hence 30 years on the streets. Photography empowers me and hopefully is going to raise awareness for homelessness. This is what it’s about for me.”
Andy held his first exhibition ‘Cardboard and Caviar’ at the Swiss Church in London in December 2015 showing some of the doorways that became home. The exhibition was a great success with exposure in the Evening Standard, BBC London News and Buzzfeed. In 2017 the exhibition was also shown in Zurich, Switzerland.
Andy describes the content of his second photography exhibition: “When you are street homeless you tend to look down and notice things most of the general public don’t see. It strikes a chord with me, why it’s there, how it got there, and I photograph it. It feels like I’m the only person who sees it. Some of these things can be upsetting, but I see it from a homeless person’s point of view. When I see these things I can personally relate to them. For example in Shaftesbury Avenue there is a broken spanner pressed into the tarmac and I bet no one else can see it but me. It reminds me how homeless people are pushed down and become invisible. Once a homeless guy walked past me, it just started to rain, and he left footprints on the wet pavement. I call this photograph The Invisible Homeless.”

Konrad Smoleński: 6CH
6CH, Konrad Smoleński
The 6CH oscillates around the visual art and sound and proposes a radical approach to this fusion. It’s a 6 channel, site specific, missive audio installation built in a spatially and visually minimalistic way. The primary element of communication in 6CH is the physicality of the sound wave and, consequently, it’s direct contact with the recipient. The resulting haptic sound sculpture focuses on the three-dimensionality of sound as abstract and ephemeral matter. Visually minimal, reduced to a few objects - towers built from loudspeakers, concert sound system and freely scattered audio cables, the installation relies on daylight (most of the time taking place after dusk), thus not providing much of a visual experience. However, this visual character is balanced by the weight and richness of the sound layer.
30 minute long piece will repeat in a loop all day. The viewer in invited to move inside this "sound sculpture" and by this movement he/she experiences a different configuration of sounds - his/her perception of work is constantly changing. The recipient's activity translates into the final shape of the work - the final mix of the emitted song is made using a ‘moving pair of ears’. The spatiality of this and other Konrad realizations is possible to experience only during the exhibition / activity and escapes the possibility of documentation. The 6CH is designed especially for the Swiss Church and commissioned by JEMP festival.
