God, fully human, yet fully divine,
you know what it is like to have no real home -
born into a stable, no vacancies in the places of hospitality,
forced to flee as a refugee with life threatening attempts on your life.
In this season of Advent,
help us to remember your frailty,
help us to acknowledge your vulnerability,
help us to be messengers proclaiming your purpose for the world.
Come again, to give protection and shelter.
Come again to strengthen the weak and to subdue the proud.
Come to our own vulnerability
and enable all to offer hope to a world in need. Amen.
This room next to our Church Sanctuary is available for anyone to use whenever the building is open. It is a place where you can read the Bible or other Christian booklets, pray, or just sit quietly.
If you have any prayer requests or concerns, please enter them in the Prayer Book which is kept in the Quiet Room.
Or you may prefer to use the Prayer Box on the wall in our rear lobby, near the door to the car park. A supply of prayer cards is available next to it.
We also have Prayer Groups which meet during the week to pray for others, when prayer requests entered in the Prayer Book and Prayer Box are offered up to God. The meetings are held in the Paul Mears Quiet Room as follows:
Our church has a Prayer Chain - a group of people who are willing to pray for others in emergency situations. This is regularly used and greatly valued by the church community.
We invite you to use any, or all, of these opportunities. For further details please have a word with our Minister.
At various times of the year we hold a series (usually once a week over 6 weeks) of Bible study sessions in our Church, led by one of our ministers. Details will be posted here and in our noticesheet at the appropriate time.
The Bible Study Group that meets in lower Broadstone on Monday evenings is a friendly and welcoming group.
We undertake a study of particular books of the Bible, or a subject with references throughout the Bible, using published study guides. We also join with Churches Together in Broadstone in the Lenten study before Easter each year when we welcome people from other Churches to our group.
Ours is a group that is open to all opinion, and is happy to be challenged. We are serious in our study, but laughter is always present. We have developed a strong feeling of fellowship and we care for each other, but we are always happy to have new members, bearing in mind that we meet in a home, and therefore do have a limit to the number we can accommodate.
For further details please contact the Church Administrator – Tel: 01202 600696
We are a small group, meeting on Monday evenings at 7.15pm, approximately every fortnight. Three of the group members take it in turns to lead the group's study and discussions. Newcomers are always welcome.
For further details please contact the Church Administrator – Tel: 01202 600696
This group meets monthly on Tuesday mornings at 10am.
We have 9 members currently - more would be most welcome - and we enjoy a time of fellowship with a friendly chat over a cup of tea or coffee.
We prayerfully share together our concerns for family, friends and the wider world and enjoy discussion, readings and Bible study using a variety of material.
