BLESS
Blessed to bless those around us.
We have a wonderful problem in our Sunday meetings, and we need to hear from you as we try to solve it.
To address the capacity issue in our 9:30am meeting, we’re considering changing the times of our meetings to 9am-10:30am and 11am-12:30pm.
On Sunday we sent out an email to the church, explaining this in more detail. If you haven’t seen it yet, click here to read the letter from John.
We’d be grateful if one person from each household could answer the following questions please, as best as you can, by the end of Sunday 16 April. Thank you for your grace as we work through this. And praise God that we have this wonderful problem!
This survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who contributed and we will update the church soon to follow it up. Comments and questions can still be sent by email to pastors@kchw.co.uk

Wednesday 18th March
John 16:33
’33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will
have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”’
Reflect on these words. You may want to read the chapter of John 16. Where have you
seen Jesus overcome? What does it mean to have Jesus’ peace? What does it mean for
you to ‘take heart’?
Let a few people call out their praise and worship so the whole group can hear.
We are now going to pray for us to see God’s Kingdom in our lives.
Nation
From 24/7 prayer: “We dare to believe that Jesus is still Prince of Peace.
These are not ordinary times. Conflict and instability continue to shake many regions,
and the escalation of war in the Middle East adds fresh urgency to our prayers. In
response, we are interrupting our schedules to pray more intentionally for our world, and
we invite you to join us.
From 16–22 March, we are committing to a week of prayer for peace. As
we gather to stand in the gap for the nations, we’re asking you to join in—whether for a
moment, an hour, or a watch in the night—as together we seek God’s peace and mercy
for the world.”
Pick a nation and pray over it. You could pray for:
God’s kingdom to come in the political situations
The church in this country to be blessed
Miracles and answers to prayer
Freedom from oppression, slavery and injustice
Global peace
Town
Lift up our town, (and surrounding areas!). You could ask for:
The churches in this town to be strengthened and blessed
God to move in the schools and universities of this town
God to move in the ministries and organisations that bless the town (Chosen,
Learning English, Little Stars, BLESS Adventures)
People to know the love of Jesus that surrounds and saturates this town – pray to be
equipped by the Holy Spirit that we may also be a blessing to those around us by sharing
Jesus’ love
Our lives/Our Church
Who has God placed in your life to bless? Where can you pray for the Kingdom to
come?
Pray for the people that you know who don’t yet know Jesus.
Pray for an outpouring of the spirit over our church, that we grow deeper in
prayer.
Pray for our leaders, for God’s peace and blessing to be on all of them.
Sundays
For our Sunday meetings: let’s pray for Ayo and Elizabeth as they lead the
service; for Neil as he preaches; and for our youth band as they leads worship.
Pray for new people to feel welcome and part of the church family. Pray for
people to have personal encounters with God this week.
Pray for King’s Kids to know and encounter Jesus, and to understand what he has
done for them.
Pray also for all of our serving teams, that they will be blessed as the serve and
make Sunday happen.
Parking near King’s Centre:
- Bridge Street Car Park is now the closest car park, but is a “Short Stay” private one that costs a bit more.
- Desborough Square Car Park, and East Richardson Street Car Park opposite it, are the nearest council car parks, a 2 minute walk away and costing £1 to park on Sundays.
- The machines on these sites are not always operational, but RingGo (opt out of texts to avoid fees) or phone payment are accepted. RingGo codes are 1421 for East Richardson St Car Park and 31426 for Des Square Car Park.
- Eden Centre is also nearby, at these costs, and the far end of the Purple zone, beyond the car park vehicle exit, has the pedestrian exit nearest King’s Centre.

- Please note that Sainsbury’s have recently adjusted the terms and costs for parking in their own car park.
- Street Parking on, and around, Desborough Road is free on Sundays but can be confusing, so please only park in designated bays and double-check permissions and charges.
- If you’ve not been to us for a couple of years, Desborough Road Car Park, immediately outside the King’s Centre, is now closed.
- There are two disabled parking bays outside our building, and those attending on Sunday mornings with mobility concerns or transporting those with difficulties can contact the church office to request one of the ‘assigned’ spaces.
- During the week, the parking bays outside King’s Centre are available to staff and visitors inside the King’s Centre, but please be aware that they are often full during office hours.
These buses stop near King’s Centre, Desborough Road:
WW1, 31S, 32, 32A, 33, 38, 41, 850, 5
