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 29 NOVEMBER

PRAISE JESUS FOR WHO HE IS

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:1-14
