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 
Our Family Christmas Carol Service is on Sunday 19th December from 6-7pm at Brookside. This will be a traditional time of singing carols and listening to readings telling the Christmas Story and we'll be looking at the rhetorical question, "I wish it could be Christmas every day?" From the famous Roy Wood & Wizzard. We will also have refreshments following. Our building will be well ventilated and we will encourage the wearing of masks when people are moving around. You are warmly invited to join us!

A new initiative from the Earley Help Hub Churches starts next week 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?
The Alpha Course is a great way to find out more about the Christian faith with others who are on similar journey's.
If you've never done Alpha, or if you did it years ago when the videos were just Nicky Gumbel speaking in church, then it's worth checking out the new film series (taster below). It's full of lively videos with lots of different presenters and, regardless of where you are on your faith journey, it's a great way to get your head around the basics of the Christian faith, as well as giving you ideas to help explain it to others. Please complete the form below if you are interested in joining an Alpha Course sometime soon. Daily Devotional - Lectio 365
Lectio 365 is a great daily devotional provided by 24/7 and CWR. We recommend this as a resource. Just click on the arrow logo above to go to the website where you can download the app.
