This Sunday we will be meeting together at 10:30am at Brookside. Our time together will be led by Lynn Chetcuti and Sarah Ensor will be speaking.
The Earley Help Hub Churches are hosting daily Zoom prayer specifically for the conflict in Ukraine. These will run from 6-6.15pm each day from Monday-Friday. Sometimes these will be led and at other times we encourage those who join to pray as led by the Holy Spirit and news headlines.
What's going on...Most of what we do as a church happens throughout every day of the week. We make no distinction between what is considered sacred and secular. Worship and mission are part of our daily lives, whether we are in paid employment, are homemakers, students and literally whatever our roles are in life. So church is 24/7 and as a family we try to care for and support our church family and our neighbours. To support and equip one another, and to worship together, we meet most Sunday's in our building in Brookside Close.
Our current arrangements for Sunday meetings throughout each month are: 1st Sunday: 10.30am Worship, Teaching and activities for children and young people 2nd Sunday: 10.30am Reflective and participative worship as church together 3rd Sunday: 10.30am Worship, Equipping, Stories and activities for children and young people 4th Sunday (evening): 7.00pm Quiet reflection, Waiting on God, Prayer and Prayer Ministry 5th Sunday 10.30am for worship on months when there is a fifth Sunday 
A new group for parents with babies. A great way to connect with other parents, build relationships and to help get support. Baby Space operates every Tuesday morning form 10:00am in our building in Brookside Close, Earley, Reading, RG6 7HG. Please click on the Baby Space image above if you would like to book into the next session of Baby Space
We have established a virtual prayer room which is currently operating on Monday,Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings between 8-8.30pm. Those meeting are very happy to pray into anything you are concerned about or struggling with. For details about how to join our virtual prayer room contact Steve Prince at sprince@brooksidechurch.org.uk. Please use the form below to let us have any prayer requests and you can just use your first name to protect your identity if you wish. This is for use across the communities and not just for those who are part of Brookside Church.
If you are in need and have nobody else to help you, please call 0118 9664474 and we will help if we can. |
A new initiative from the Earley Help Hub Churches has recently started in three locations. The Re:Fresh wellbeing drop-in cafes are safe places people can go to and just 'be.' The idea is to provide an environment where people can go and enjoy a cuppa together and connect with others to the level they wish to. Why not try Re:Fresh out one day next week?
After two years of helping to meet people's needs throughout the pandemic through the Earley Help Hub, we are developing links and partnership with other hubs in the Reading area. Torch Hubs are growing and becoming more effective in a variety of neighbourhoods. We also have the offer of funding to help strengthen the role of hubs going forward. Do join us for a presentation at Trinity Church (near Asda) on Wednesday 30th March from 7pm. This is a great opportunity for everyone interested in the work of hubs and especially for volunteers and those thinking of volunteering.
