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 15 July
Read Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”’
- Where do you have the choice to sit at Jesus’ feet?
- What does rest look like for you in this moment?
- How can you prioritise God’s presence today?
Praying for Newday
This year we are taking 62 young people from King’s church to join with over 1000 other teenagers at a you camp called Newday.
- Pray that young people encounter God, and grow in their relationship with him. For some this may mean giving their lives to Jesus for the first time
- Pray for safety and protection on site
- Pray for unity, God’s presence and peace on our camp
- Pray for lives to be transformed, that the youth come home from Newday equipped and stirred up to follow Jesus
Pray for our youth
Prayer points for young people from King’s Church:
- Pray that our young people grow closer to God in all they do.
- Pray for our team members, that God equips them and fills them with his spirit, that they also grow closer to him through serving the youth
- That God meets our young people and equips them with the Holy Spirit
- That our young people realise their gifting and leadership skills, and begin to put them in place in their schools, Christian Unions, and clubs
- That our young people grow to be leaders filled with integrity and Godly character, pursuing him in all they do.
Pray for those on your BLESS lists
Pray for those who don’t yet know Jesus. Who has God placed alongside you to speak to, pray for and encourage?
- Pray for their lives to be transformed by Jesus.
This may be a good opportunity for you to revisit your list and consider who you can continually pray for!
Pray for Sunday
- For Mark, Katie and some of our youth, as they lead us in worship.
- For Ade as he bring God’s word.
- For Ayo as he leads the meeting.
- For our serving teams and children’s ministries.
- That every new person feels welcome and encounters God.
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.
