Let It Grow

Just a short blog today – you get time off for good behaviour!

Last Sunday we heard a great talk from Rob Lea about the importance of prayer and making a habit of praying.
I hope you will take seriously the invitation to say the Lord’s Prayer every day for 60, 90, 120 days – or every day!

I have used the prayer card we were given as a bookmark in my study bible, thus ensuring I have a daily reminder to say the prayer – and I will!

Can I add another prayer request? Hot on the heels of my last blog about how Paul planted, Apollos watered but God gave the growth (of the church), please would you pray that EBC grows?

It struck me this morning that this is a blindingly obvious thing that we should be doing as a church family every day – and the more of us the better. If you’re not sure what to say, keep it simple and maybe try this -
Dear God, thank you for my church family. Please, please bring us spiritual and numerical growth. For your name and your glory. Amen.

Please join me in this prayer – after all, the very act of praying will surely lead to our own spiritual growth and I’m pretty sure God will honour this prayer. For all our planning and strategizing, it remains true that only God can grow His church, so why on Earth wouldn’t we ask him?

Come on church – let’s pray!

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?
At the moment we have one Sunday morning service which starts at 10.00am.
 
On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

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 9:50am.
 
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 10:00am 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.
