Tuesday 18th October

From the team facebook page :

"Tuesday saw us making two visits in Curitiba: in the morning we went to Acridas a children's home which works in partnership with the local authority but raises just over 50% of its funding itself. It also has a very well organised charity shop which provides 20% of this income.

The children have been taken from their parents because of their parents' drug or alcohol problems, domestic violence or worse. They now live in houses of up to 10 children with two "house parents". We also visited the baby unit, where some were just two weeks old. This was the most popular part of the visit for some of our team, but so sad to think that these young babies will not know the regular love and attention of their natural mothers.

After lunch in a local restaurant we took a short stroll in the park in downtown Curitiba to the Abba project which holds a regular service followed by a meal and bible study for the homeless and street workers of the city. (There are other outreach activities held here every week). The lunchtime service is always a very lively one, and Amy from our team gave her moving testimony, and Stewart shared some thoughts on Psalm 23. We also prayed for several of the congregation who came to the front during the service.

Afterwards the team helped serve food and drinks to the congregation and clear up."

Planning your Visit

I am New

Welcome from all of us at Easthampstead Baptist Church!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. As you explore our website, we hope that you catch a broader glimpse of what EBC is all about. It's about people - people just like you - who want to embark on a journey to discover more of God and his will for our lives.

What should I expect on a Sunday Morning?

Sometimes going to a church for the first time can be a little daunting. I promise we won't bite! To help ease any uncertainties below are the answers to some common questions people have before attending a Sunday morning.

What do I have to wear?

We are a 'come as you are' sort of people and have no formal dress-code for our Sunday services.
We can assure you that we don't have bouncers on the door vetting your attire!

If you are still not sure, feel free to check out our services on YouTube to have an idea.

What time do I need to be there?

We run two Sunday morning services which start at 9:30am and 11:00am.
On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

Services

We would recommend you turn up 10 minutes before the service starts so you have a chance to say hi!
If you have children that need signing in to the children and youth work, they need to be signed in from 10:50am.

Parking

There is plenty of parking both out the front and at the back of the building. Just follow the signs!

How safe is my child in your care?

We run separate children and youth work during our 11:00am service, which is run by a group of volunteers who have all been DBS checked.

Children ages 11 and under must be signed in and out by their parent/carer. The youth can sign themselves in and out.
