Wednesday: Our local community, Bracknell town, schools, health & wealth
9 Oct, 2024
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What are the local council services near you? Take a moment today to think back to the times you have accessed them , the schools, the hospitals, the tip, the library etc
R: Rejoice. Thank God for the moments when they have been a blessing to you- thank God for the staff teams- can you name any?
A: Ask. Right now local government departments are waiting for more cuts, lets pray for the decision makers that they will make wise choices, that money will be released to support the most vunerable. That as a church community we would be engaged in our local community, acknowledging the needs around us and stepping in to be a blessing.
Y: Yield. Where there is injustice in our local systems lets choose today not to grumble but to bring light and hope and support sustainable solutions. What is God giving you ‘holy discontent’ about? Yield to your part in the solution!
Monday: Our world, international matters, politics & conflict
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What’s on the news across the continents either this morning or currently? What catches your eye that God is asking you to pray around today?
R: Rejoice. Thank God for His love for the world, and his mercies that are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23).
A: Ask. Pray into world events that need God’s breakthrough. It may help to pray the 3 Ps – for the people, the peacemakers and the pastors in that area.
Y: Yield. Allow Jesus to release you from any anxiety as you intercede today. Calling out to God but being assured that he is ultimately sovereign over all of His earth.
Help us bring some light to Bracknell this Autumn!
As Christians should we try to discourage children from celebrating Halloween and from “Trick or Treating” in the community? Well, interestingly part of Halloween’s history has a Christian basis.
Ethical shopping..a perfect Saturday afternoon!
For all of us buying clothes is becoming super expensive, so why don’t you join us with friends and family for an afternoon raising money for our Trash For Cash project. You will also be supporting the planet by creating an Autumn wardrobe from nearly new clothing! Come along to our Forever Fashion Event.
There’s a small group for you…
Not everyone likes the same flavours of ice-cream. Some love choc-chip, others are fans of rum and raisin (yuck!). In the same way we know that we enjoy differing ways to connect with God and others.
Sunday’s coming, here’s the plan …
We have been praying as a team for the start of something really special this weekend, CREATING SPACE FOR HEALTHY GROWTH, means first we have to MOVE to create the space.
Worshipping together- starting something new this Sunday.
In 2 weeks time we are launching our 2 meetings at Kerith Bracknell…

An opportunity to celebrate with our community in Bracknell
For families coming out from war torn London in the 1950s, the new town of Bracknell has an incredible legacy as a place of provision - and the Kerith Centre ( ‘place of provision’ in Hebew!) is right in the middle of the town!

Where can I volunteer on a Sunday?
At the start of this year, we felt called to CREATE SPACE FOR HEALTHY GROWTH by adding two morning meetings. With nearly 800 attendees on Easter alone, it's clear we need to expand across adult, youth, and children’s spaces— and yes, even in the car park!
