As we begin a new calendar year together, we look forward to seeing more of what God is doing with us as and through us as a congregation. I would love to see us strengthened as a church family by making the most of our cafe style of service; with testimonies, discussions and prayer, to help us grow in faith and our love of God as well as our love and care for one another and the local community. Many blessings for 2013 Sue

Pray for our church family

New Year, new talk series

During the next few months we will begin to explore the book of Ephesians from the New Testament. The first three chapters look inside the church and tell of Gods purpose and power and the churchs relationship to God in Christ. The second half looks at our relationship with one another and our response to the working of the Holy Spirit within us and outside the church. I hope you will feel encouraged to find ways to meet with God both at cafe church and throughout the week. We would love you to share your thoughts about the Bible passage and hear about encounters with God in your daily life.

Please pray for: Wendy, as she recovers from a broken leg, for rest, healing and patience Gael, travelling to Australia for safe travel and for him to find a good church family to join there Give thanks for the meeting and fellowship at St Pauls Brixton on Saturday and for Gods blessing and leading of St Pauls, Brixton and Springfield as they seek to reach out to their communities
