Panshanger Church

Not sure about you, but making resolutions that are always going to be like climbing the North wall of the Eiger aren’t the best way forward as we begin 2009. Perhaps the real struggle is to do the things that life brings already, our work, our relationships our challenges with a little more grace, patience and kindness. I’m slowly changing and God is wonderfully patient with me, more so than I am with myself. May 2009 be a year where the love of God supremely shown in the sacrifice of Jesus may shine a little more brightly in us all. Mountains are only climbed after the foothills are conquered!

For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. Matthew 18:20.

During January 2009 we are having a month of corporate prayer. We have often talked about our church prayer life and discussed ways in which we can improve and develop corporate prayer. On Vision Day the Lord clearly showed us that he wants us to pray together for the needs of our church and local community. We thought that January was the perfect time for us to get started with the potential of all that is to come in the New Year.

During January we are having at least one prayer meeting every day. These will be held at various venues and times and will be led by many different church members. The focus of prayer will be on Panshanger Church, our Ministers, children and youth groups, elders, council, leaders, congregation and our local community.

A prayer diary has been put together detailing all of the various meetings, who is leading them and where they will be held. If you would like further details please email Jill Young

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16

We are starting a new initiative whereby we welcome newcomers to Panshanger with a friendly visit and a pack of information regarding the local area.  We would welcome any ideas regarding what to include in the pack, design and printing and distribution etc.  If you are interested and would like to know more, please speak to either Simon or myself and help us to develop this exiting new idea.

As a relatively new member of Panshanger Church, I would like to encourage anyone who is thinking of joining us for Sunday worship to come and see us soon. It doesn’t matter whether you regularly attend church, haven’t been for years or have never been before, you will find a warm welcome awaiting you. There is something for everyone at our Church and if you have children they will have a wonderful opportunity to make new friends as well.If you would like to learn more about the Christian faith then I would encourage you to attend our next Alpha course in September. I attended a course a few years ago and have never looked back!

Please come and join us in worship soon, we look forward to meeting you. Jill Young
