We celebrate all good gifts that are sent from heaven above.
Our harvest thanksgiving takes place 6th October. Our Big Church style service returns with lots to do for everyone. Thanks to the All-ln team and their band of helpers for making this such a great celebration.
- 13th October Mark Langham joins us for our morning worship.
- 20th October We welcome Jason back from his sabbatical for our monthly communion service.
- 27th October Our focus turns to One Mission Sunday.
We declare that Jesus is Lord in our prayers, praise, as we explore God’s word, over refreshments and throughout our lives. Please do talk with one of our welcome team should you want to know more about any aspect of our church life together here at Broadwater Baptist.
Homegroups
We have a number of small groups that meet roups regularly to socialise, look out for each other and to get to grips with our Christian faith. These are a key part of our bigger church life together and we’d encourage anyone who’s not been along to
one to try them out. The deacons or those leading the services will be able to let you know more. During Jason’s sabbatical the youth homegroup and the regular group that meets at the manse will be meeting at Gerren and Sarah’s home. The youth group will be from 7:30 for an 8pm start.
We’re also pleased that a new daytime group has started, led by Gill Whelan. This group meets in the Anchor Lounge at 2pm on Tuesdays (9th & 23rd). It’s a new group, so take the plunge and give it a try.
Thank you
To all who have helped so fantastically with the fund raising efforts recently. A sumptuous tea was enjoyed, thanks to he Hardwicks. And a whole new wardrobe was on offer thanks to Karyn and her clothes swap shop. Our funds for
Latvia and support to Friends of Mombasa Children is all the better for it. Thanks again all.
Chaps at BBC
Just to remind all chaps that as well as the men’s breakfast on 12th October (sign up sheet at the back of the church), make sure you make a note in the diary for:
- Bowling – at Worthing Pavilion Bowling club – 12th November
- Festive curry – at Nori’s in Broadwater – 10th December
Light Party
We have a lovely light party for our youngsters to come to but need a few things to make it happen. We need some empty clear small drinks bottles for one of the crafts please, if you have any then please save it and give it to Lauren or El. Lids too please.
Also if anyone is free on the 31st between 5pm and 6:30pm for the party and/or before and after, please let Lauren know.
The children will receive an invite for themselves and to give to a friend and the Rainbows and Brownies are also being invited.
Finally, if you have a child in year 7 and above, we would love for them to help on the night. The smaller ones love the big ones! If they are willing, please let me know. Thank you.
Thanks
We have at last managed to make time to take mum (Peggy) for her afternoon tea at Joanna’s. We had a very enjoyable afternoon in September, slowly making our way through what appeared to be a mountain of food. We couldn’t quite eat it all but luckily a doggy bag was offered for the little we left. Mum not only enjoyed the tea but the drive out and seeing Storrington again.
Thank you to everyone in Powerbase and all those across the church that made it possible.
