Why not Come Back to Church?

Did you once come to church? Do you miss it? Have you been meaning to come back but life go to busy? Well follow me. I came back aged 19 some 18 years ago and have never looked back. Being part of a loving community where you can grow and be nurtured in your faith is wonderful. Join us this Sunday, 30th September 2012 at 10.30am. Venue: St James United Reformed Church, Palmerston Road, Buckhurst Hill, Essex, IG9 5NG.

Waiting that is almost over

As I write this it is Christmas Eve. Tommorrow will be Christmas Day 2011. The first Christmas saw a group of people waiting for someone to come and liberate them from the things that opressed them. In this case it was the Romans. The Hebrew Nation had long been under their control, and they longed for a warrior to liberate them. The promised Messiah who would lead them. They got a fragile baby, vulnerable like us. He was God as man. He would lead people away from the things that held them back from being with God the father. He loved, cared, showed compassion, and challenged authority but never lifted a finger. He loves us still today. Even though he went on trial for petty reasons and suffered a horrible death God the father raised him to new life. He wants each of us to enter into his world as he entered into ours.

Going Home!

I was once drifted away from Church. It was a hard time and personal issues made it difficult to see what Church was and what God was saying to me. However I realised that no matter you are St James' church accepts you as you are and allows you to grow and flourish as people. So why not follow me Back to Church this Sunday 25th September 2011 at 10.30am at St James URC, Palmerston Road, Buckhurst Hill?

Back to Church Sunday

This event is one where people are invited, or go, back to church after a gap. It maybe that they have moved, got out of the habit of going, or had a more upsetting reason that lead to them stop going. It is a Sunday where people can visit and see how church has changed for the better.

St James' United Reformed Church, Palmerston Road, Buckhurst Hill, IG9 5NG is holding such a service tommorrow, 10.30am. Everyone is very welcome.
