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 12 August
Reflection
Read Psalm 46 and think about what stands out to you and what it tells us about God. Then, we will spend some time speaking out our praise to God.
Psalm 46:
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.’
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
The Nations
Pick a nation or world issue that you know about and pray for:
- Peace and protection
- God to break into those situations
- God’s wisdom, courage and righteousness for world leaders and governments
- The Church to rise up and be courageous in sharing the gospel, and for many to be saved.
Summer Sunday (no Sunday meetings on 16 August)
Please pray for:
- A great time of community and fun on Sunday at the picnic
- Those who are new or on the fringe of church to get to know others at the picnic.
Leaders & Serving Teams
Please pray for:
- The elders, senior leaders and staff team – to be filled with the Spirit, refreshed and equipped for all God has for them to do
- Those in serving teams to know God’s blessing and refreshing, to be filled with the Spirit and grow in God.
- Serving teams to be a place of community and joy as they serve together and for people to find their place and know they are playing a part in the kingdom
- More people to join the serving teams
- Those who lead serving teams – to lead with grace, kindness and God’s direction.
PowerHouse & the Retired Generations
Please pray for:
- The Leadership Team. To be protected from attacks as they serve the PowerHouse Membership
- To keep them fresh with Spirit-led ideas as they plan each month.
- The health of PowerHouse members.
- The healing of those in PowerHouse who are struggling with illness or ailments or who are in hospital. That they would know God’s healing power and his peace as they walk through these difficult times.
- Spirit-filled meetings where the Holy Spirit can move and speak.
- God to continue to fill and use those in these generations
Parking near King’s Centre:
- We wish we could offer parking at King’s Centre to everyone, but we can’t… there are a few bays directly outside the building, but these should be requested in advance by those with mobility needs, or left for staff use only.
- Desborough Square Car Park, and East Richardson Street Car Park opposite it, are the nearest council car parks, a 2 minute walk away and cost £1 to park on Sundays.
- The machines on these sites are not always operational, but RingGo (opt out of texts to avoid extra 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.
