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 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
