BLESS
Blessed to bless those around us.
Small groups play a really important role in the life of our church. They’re a space to create family, encounter Jesus, and reach out to those who don’t yet know Jesus. If you have an idea for a small group, or if you’d like to lead but you’re not sure what type of group yet, we’d love to hear from you. Just fill in your details below and we’ll be in touch.
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 5 November
Psalm 103
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits –
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 the Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbour his anger for ever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children –
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
REFLECT ON PSALM 103
- Do I “forget not” His benefits, am I living in daily gratitude for His forgiveness, healing, and renewal?
- Where do I need His healing or renewal in body, soul, or spirit?
- How have we seen God’s compassion and faithfulness in our church?
- What would it look like for His kingdom to “rule over all”, in our lives, our families, the affairs of our church, our city, our nation?
WORSHIP & DECLARATION
- Worship God for Who He Is – “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” (v. 8)
- Declare: “You are faithful, merciful, and full of steadfast love.”
- Thank Him that His heart is kind – His mercy is stronger than judgment.
- Thank Him for What He Has Done – He forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, and renews (vv. 3-5).
- Name specific “benefits” aloud – moments of His goodness, healing, or provision.
- Declare His Lordship and Power – “The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.” (v. 19)
- Proclaim that Jesus reigns – over sickness, over our church, over every circumstance.
- Declare that nothing is beyond His reach – not our bodies, not our building project, not our city.
PRAYING FROM THE PSALM
Psalm 103:1–5: Healing and Renewal
- Thank God for His forgiveness and healing.
- Pray for an outbreak of healing across the church – physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual.

Psalm 103:8–13: Provision and God’s Leading (New Building) – Personal + Corporate
- Thank God for His compassion and faithfulness in every season.
- Pray for open doors, favour, and provision for each member of our church family, for the new building, to accomplish all the vision of God for King’s.
- Ask God to guide our every step – that His will and timing be clear.
REVIVAL & KINGDOM ADVANCE
Psalm 103:19–22: Revival and the Kingdom Advance
- Declare that “the Lord’s throne is established in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.”
- Pray for revival – that hearts would turn to Christ locally and globally.

- Ask that our church would be an instrument of His kingdom rule and compassion in the world.
SUNDAY MORNING MEETINGS
Let’s pray for:
- Adam and the band, that they have a deep revelation of the Lord’s love for them this week, that leading will be from a place of overflow. To hear the Spirits leading and go for it.
- Ayodeji and Katie who are leading the meeting, wisdom in hosting the presence of the Lord.
