The scenes recorded in Acts 2 were odd! It’s early in the morning, the sun is shining, there’s a large crowd consisting of thousands of Jews gathering to celebrate the ‘feast of weeks’ or ‘Pentecost’ as it’s more commonly known. Friends and family are gathering together, renewing acquaintances, admiring the stunning Jerusalem architecture and generally anticipating a great celebration. Before long the serenity was rudely interrupted! Gathered in a nearby house were 120 disciples of Jesus who were experiencing an event that had been prophesied by Joel hundreds of years before; an event that would forever change the way man would experience and worship God. It happened like this:
“Suddenly there came from heaven a sound ...

If we can overlook the sham that was the weather we had to endure throughout August, then we’ll have to agree it’s been a month of many excellent things! Not least the great crowds present on Sunday mornings, consisting of many visitors, who like those of us present were able to enjoy great worship times and some fantastic preaching.
The guys handling Jonah did a superb job, some making debut appearances and serving us all so well. The youth had a very memorable time at Newday and I’m sure a blog post will presently appear detailing some of the highlights from the conference. But alas, September is upon us! Please keep a beady eye out for new people, in ...

It’s been a superb few weeks at NCC with John and Linda Lanferman joining us on the 11th and Scott & Clare Marques on the 18th! Both John and Scott brought words to us which were tremendously encouraging, urging us to keep believing God for the promises spoken over us and to cover all that we do in love, for God and each other.
There was one thing in particular that Scott mentioned worth reflecting on. A few years ago when Scott was last with us we took a spontaneous offering to help the ground breaking (no pun intended) work being done in Zimbabwe, aimed at training local people to be excellent stewards of the land in farming and agriculture. This was a remarkable moment, when as a church we gave £15,000 towards the ...

(Speaking after the Germany game) our national team have been at best abysmally woeful, at worst…well let’s not go there. We have decided as a church we’ll do our bit in making the World Cup of 2022 a little more successful by training our kids in how to play the game!
From September we will be running Saturday morning football sessions at Waring Park in Sidcup. I’ve had a number of parents mention to me that their kids would love to have weekend football available to them. So now it’s happening.
Our very own Sam Haseltine, who has various FA coaching badges, will be running this for us together with some others and it promises to be a fantastic opportunity ...
