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 25 February
Ephesians 1:3-10
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
PRAISE JESUS FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE
Let’s pray for Alpha, which starts this evening:
- For Dawn, as she heads up the team – for the encouragement of the Father
- That all those who have signed up would attend – and for all team members to be able to make it too
- For a great atmosphere of warmth, welcome, peace and the Holy Spirit to be apparent as our guests arrive
- That all the things we read in Ephesians 1 would be true of our Alpha guests – for salvation, adoption, filling of the Holy Spirit
Let’s pray for our young people in the church:
- That anxieties and fears would be replaced with peace and a deep confidence in Jesus – that in times of testing, their foundations would be strong and their identity would be in him
- For a love, hunger and delight in reading the word of God and putting it into practice
- For strong, deep friendships amongst our young people – and a heart to reach out to friends with the gospel
- For Abi and our youth team – for the favour of God on them
Let’s pray for this Sunday’s meetings:
- For the tangible presence of God in both our meetings this Sunday
- For Ayo, who is speaking, continuing our teaching series on the Sermon on the Mount
- For all those serving, including Jen and the band leading worship, Seyi & Nicola leading the meetings, and all our serving teams
- For the power of God to bring transformation: the lost saved, the sick healed, the church on fire for Jesus
Let’s pray together for wisdom as we plan for the future of the church:
- A prophetic insight into what God is doing and where he wants to lead us next
- For wisdom as we plan towards a third meeting and God’s guidance as we explore options for a new building
- That we would hear clearly the voice of God leading us, and for the courage to follow in obedience
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.
- Dovecot multi storey, which again costs £1 to park for the day on Sundays, is a 4 minute walk if you walk in/out using the Sainsbury’s main entrance.
- 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
… and High Wycombe Bus Station, by the Eden Centre, is a 2-3 minute walk from our front door (0.1 mile, 700 feet).
High Wycombe Train Station is just the other side of town centre, a 15 minute walk away.
