Forum Community Centre

Posted on - Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

The Forum is the new home of the Emmanuel Church office and so I thought you might be interested to know a little about it.

It’s a community centre in East Greenwich in an old church building that is now attached to the new extension that is home to Christ Church (C of E church). The Forum is home to a host of charitable organisations including ‘Greenwich Asssociation of Disabled People’, ‘Greenwich Action for Voluntary Service’, ‘Volunteer Centre Greenwich’ and others such as a community theatre company. It also has its own cafe, serving home-cooked food, is very reasonable priced and has ‘This Morning’ (I can hear the advert break tune from my office!) on each morning on the tv.

The centre is located right on Trafalgar Rd which provides bus links to almost everywhere, is a short walk from Maze Hill station and is handily opposite a Greggs, Co-op and numerous take-aways.

I recommend that next time you are passing that you call in for a look around, grab a coffee and relax on the sun terrace on the 2nd floor!

New office!

Posted on - Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Hi all,

Emmanuel has moved into new offices this last week which is very exciting!
…We are now based at the Forum community centre in E.Greenwich which makes us much more accessable to all, amongst other community groups and now fully independent from Kings Church Catford (who we remain extremely grateful to).

Our new contact details are:
The Forum @ Greenwich
Trafalgar Rd
Greenwich
SE10 9EQ

0208 305 9799

Although we have furnished the office, we could still do with another table or surface so if you’ve got anything going spare please contact info@emmanuelchurchlondon.org.

Sermons in the Sun

In August we are doing things a little different. See the flyers below:

 

Offerings

Posted on - Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Last Offering
Our offering in July towards ‘Together on a Mission’, the New Frontiers fund that supports its various works around the world, raised just over £13,700!!! If you would still like to contribute then you can put donations in the red box on Sunday marked ‘TOAM’ or do a bank transfer with the same reference.

August Offering
On 1st August we will take our next offering towards an Emmanuel ‘Community Fund’. This money will be used to support projects/works initiated by those within our church that engage with our local communities.
An example of this is a Kids Club that should start in Greenwich from Sept. as well as numerous other activities that those in the church are involved in.

Emmanuel Beach Trip

Posted on - Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

When: Saturday 31st July
Where: Broadstairs Beach

All welcome to join loads of people from Emmanuel Church for a day at the beach.
The plan is to meet in the car park just up from the beach at 10am. There are lots of people wanting to come but in need of a lift so if you are intending to drive and have space in your car could you please contact Caroline Kaidi who is kindly organising the trip.

Pray for sunshine!

Jesus Heals

Posted on - Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

On Sunday I preached about Jesus’ power to heal and promised to put a link online to a couple of healing testimonies that I spoke about during the sermon. Both of these videos are of individuals healed at Newday, a summer conference for young people gathering around 7000 people.

July Offering

Posted on - Thursday, July 1st, 2010

This coming Sunday, the 4th July, we will be taking our monthly offering towards the annual Newfrontiers extension fund.

The money goes towards church planting, caring for the poor, and strategic initiatives to advance the gospel, particularly in some of the poorest places.  We will be joining with 6-700 churches in taking this offering and hoping to raise over £1 million.

Newday 2010

Posted on - Friday, June 25th, 2010

Taking place this year from 11th – 16th August, Newday is primarily a youth event for 12-19’s although there are also lots of opportunities for those older to join us or to serve at the event.

If you would like to join Emmanuel Church at this event then you can get more details from Steve or by visiting http://www.newdaygeneration.org/.  

It would be really helpful if you could book in before 1st July so that we get allocated appropriate space on our campsite. Thank you!

Church the Sunday

Posted on - Thursday, June 24th, 2010

The small matter of an England vs Germany world cup game on Sunday afternoon means that we will run our Sunday meeting half an hour later than usual.  We will still be open for business from 4pm for anyone who turns up, but the meeting itself will run from 5pm and finish at 6.30pm.  If the game goes to extra-time / penalties we will still start at 5pm, content in the knowledge that the glory of God surpasses penalty shoot out hysteria.

I appreciate that for some of you it will seem strange to move a church meeting for a football match, but this is a big event in our nation and it would seem stranger to carry on as if we hadn’t noticed.

For anyone wanting to watch the game before the meeting, there will be a group of Emmanuelites in the Spanish Galleon from just before 3pm.

Church Weekend Away

Posted on - Sunday, May 30th, 2010

This weekend (June 4th-6th) we are having our church weekend away at Frontier Centre. Therefore there will be no sunday service at the Navy College in Greenwich. See you on the 13th for Emmanuel Worldwide. It is not too late to join us on the weekend away. Email Katia@emmanuelchurchlondon.org for more information.
