Join us in bringing JOY to Christmas…. 🎄 👼🏻🎁
Part of our DNA at Kerith Community Church is to craft events and moments where people can experience the presence of God in the midst of the Christmas season. To do this well we need all of us to play our part- it’s a great way to make new friends at Kerith and bless those coming through the doors for the first time.
Friday: Christmas, the opportunities for evangelism and impact
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. How do I feel about Christmas? Is the idea stressing me out or bringing me joy? Talk to God about how you feel.
R: Rejoice. Give thanks that someone explained the Gospel to you, Who were they? Thank God for them!
A: Ask. Think about who you'd like to invite to our Christmas events, ask Jesus for opportunities to chat with them over the coming weeks. Pray for the teams planning Christmas and ask God to guide you to what your involvement could be this year.
Y: Yield. Give God any anxiety or fear around inviting others to join with you at Kerith this Christmas.
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!
Another Week of Prayer and Fasting kicks off on Monday 7th October
We have another opportunity to collectively focus our attention on God, and wait on Him to speak.

Keeping The Kerith Centre Bright and Clear
Opening its doors in 1989, and having been a recognisable and welcoming space within our Bracknell community for over 30 years, The Kerith Centre is in need of some upgrades to keep it functioning at its best. Currently we're focusing on upgrading its auditorium lighting and replacing its PA system.

An opportunity to celebrate with our community in Bracknell
