Last Sunday we looked through 1 Corinthians 6:12 where Paul challenges the Church on their purity. We used Peter’s imprisonment in jail as an example of the partnership with God that’s required to walk away from sexual immorality. Peter’s chains were broken, a divine act, the doors we’re opened, a divine act, and then Peter…
We serve because we want to come alongside every child regardless of their needs. Here at JCC we have people God has gifted to work with children who struggle with church, socialising, mental health, autism. However unless people sign up to help out at Sparklers, Blaze and Glo these people aren’t free to use Gods…
Facebook have recently made some titanic changes to the algorithms that determine the priority of information you see, and even the adverts that are prioritised on your screen are impacted. The changes have been around this idea of ‘community’. Mark Zuckerberg has decided to move away from a corporate/sales identity to a social/community one. Interestingly…
We wanted to publish the following story to share some of what God has been doing recently and to encourage you in your prayer life. Below are words written by Ian Watt about recent events. It’s worth noting that he competed in the Run Gatwick half marathon event yesterday just weeks after writing this account…
It’s rare that we talk about matters such as spiritual growth, and even rarer that we give account of our intended growth in faith.

Inspired by Nathan Forster’s take on the discipline of simplicity, I decided to go “off grid” for Lent.

This is the first time I have written a blog of any sort especially telling people what I intended to do and have been doing for 40 days. I decided, having prayed for our neighbours for some time with minimal results that I needed to change tack in order to pray more earnestly and hopefully…
While reading the other day, this verse shot out at me, ‘…..do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.’2 Cor. 4:16. As a person who has reached the grand age of 77 (with the attendant health issues) I found these words extremely encouraging. As we…
In the lead up to lent, I had such high hopes of what I could do and how I could spend time getting closer to God. I could stop comfort eating when I felt busy or stressed and put my reliance more on God instead, or I could go for short walks to pray, as…
I’m suffering from something called POM syndrome it’s apparently quite common in Christians, it’s the poor old me syndrome! You know when trouble comes your way you start looking down moping… I had forgotten what a wise old woman said the cure for it was! When I’m struggling with things I need to stop looking…
