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

Colossians 2:6-15
‘So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.’
- What stands out to you from this passage?
- What are you grateful for?
- Thank God for what he has won for you.
1) For the strengthening of our faith as a church
• For the nine people baptised on Sunday – that the Lord would protect them and strengthen their faith.
• For those who attended as visitors on Sunday, that the Lord would continue to reveal himself to them.
• For those attending Alpha and Chapter One – and for the teams leading them. That we would see salvation as a result.
• That our faith would be strengthened whenever we gather together.
• For all our small groups to be places where people get ‘rooted and built up’ in Jesus.
2) For Sunday morning
• For Katie and the band leading worship.
• For Nicola and Ade leading the meeting.
• Seyi is speaking – continuing the Sermon on the Mount series.
• That the Lord would encounter each person present in a personal way.
• For all our Sunday serving teams – that they would know God’s blessing as they serve him.
3) For our staff team
• For all our new staff members – Brenda, Ayo, Modupe, Rob and Sefi.
• For the staff team to be ‘rooted and built up in Jesus, strengthened in the faith, and overflowing with thankfulness’.
• For God’s protection over the team – over their health, their spiritual lives and their families.
• For John and his family.
• For the team of trustees as they provide advice and support for the staff team.
4) For God’s protection over the church
‘See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.’ Col 2:8
Pray that we would be a church that stands firm in our faith, not taken in by the enemy’s lies, but having our eyes fully fixed on Jesus, serving and glorifying him.
