On Sunday, 29 June, around 40 dedicated volunteers from ASEZ WAO UK, a community group committed to sustainability, organised a “Rethink Plastic” event around Epsom’s Clock Tower. Inspired by the urgent need to tackle plastic waste, volunteers took part in a litter pick, public awareness presentations, and an upcycling workshop demonstrating practical solutions to plastic pollution. Supported by the Mayor of Epsom and Ewell, Councillor Robert Leach, and Councillor Steven McCormick, the volunteers collected approximately 35 bags of rubbish from the town centre. The event highlighted the importance of reducing plastic waste and gave participants the opportunity to transform discarded plastic bottles into creative items such as phone stands, piggy banks, toy cars, and flowers, showing how waste can be given a second life through upcycling. The event emphasised that small actions can lead to meaningful environmental change. As plastic pollution continues to threaten ecosystems and wildlife, community efforts like this play a vital role in addressing this global issue locally. ASEZ WAO UK plans to hold more initiatives to encourage residents to rethink their plastic use and improve sustainability at every level.

On the Holy Sabbath day, members of the Church of God gather joyfully as a Heavenly Family, following the example of Jesus Christ, who kept the Sabbath as His custom. Through three worship services — morning, afternoon, and evening — they praise God with New Songs, prayers, and sermons that inscribe God’s word upon their hearts. Between services, members engage in Bible studies, educational sessions, and fellowship activities that help them grow in faith, hope, and love. The church is filled with warmth, joy, and a deep sense of community. Over shared meals, tea, and heartfelt conversations, members form meaningful bonds and support one another in their spiritual journey. The Sabbath is a day to draw closer to God, practise love and service, and prepare our hearts for the Kingdom of Heaven. We warmly invite you to join us and experience the blessings of the Holy Sabbath day.

On 23 February 2025, approximately 100 volunteers from ASEZ a University Student Volunteer group of the World Mission Society Church of God gathered at the Klapperkop Nature Reserve, Pretoria to remove the invasive alien plant species known as "Pompom." The Pompom originates from the South American herb family, grows rapidly and absorbs a lot of water posing a threat to indigenous plants, animals and humans. ASEZ which stands for Save the Earth from A-Z rolled up their sleeves and cut the Pompom. The Klapperkop Nature Reserve team followed by putting poison on the cut Pompom roots to prevent them from growing back. This activity is part of the AGC movement carried out by ASEZ. AGC stands for ASEZ Green Carbon Movement which aims to conserve terrestrial ecosystems. It corresponds to UN SDG number 15 Life on Land. The altruistic efforts from the bright ASEZ volunteers paved the way to a healthier invasive free future for all.
