16/06/2026

Join us as we pray in these remaining weeks before Beach Mission starts.

This week we pray for:

Shrimps
We pray for Laura T as she leads this group of 0-4's and their grown ups. We pray that both the children and adults will meet God through the sessions.

Local churches
We pray for the leaders and congregations at St Clements, the Methodist Church and the Evangelical Free Church. We pray for their witness in Sutton throughout the year and thank God for their commitment to and support of the Mission.

We are excited to be celebrating 140 years since the Beach Mission started in Sutton on Sea. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements on how we will be celebrating and how you can get involved.

The theme of this year’s Mission is ‘Wayfinders’ - Come and join Nora North and Guy D’Rope on the beach each morning as they set off on a new adventure, earn badges and learn all about God’s faithfulness.

This summer we are celebrating 140 years since the Mission began in Sutton on Sea!

We have a few different celebrations planned - one is a special Prom Praise on Sunday 9th August, looking back at all God has done through the Mission.

We would love to hear people’s memories of Mission and especially we’d love you to pick the hymns and worship songs we sing. If you have one that you’d like to share, please send us a message on instagram, Facebook or to the Mission email address.

Hopefully this warm weather has got you thinking about all the fun we’ll have on the beach this August ☀️🏖️

Beach Mission 2026 will be here before we know it!

Registration is now OPEN for adults, children and families joining us this summer.

2026 is also a special year as we celebrate 140 years since Sutton on Sea Beach Mission started!

We’re looking forward to celebrating all God has done through the mission over the years and all He will continue to do.

Why not get it sorted now… then you won’t have to rely on Sutton’s dodgy signal to register later!
