Scars

A young lady I know has been playing the guitar over the last few years, and looking at her fingers the other day, she remarked on the scars, cuts and callouses on the tips.

Listening to her play, I thought of what a paradox it can be 🤔, in that what one person may view as unsightly scars and callouses, can in fact be a key factor in the production of something wonderful, in this case, music!

Sometimes we go through various life experiences which may not feel pleasant at the time, and which may leave inner or outer scars.

If we allow God’s grace to work in us, these experiences may reshape our level of compassion, allowing us to offer deeper or more sincere empathy, understanding and comfort to others, far more than if we had not gone through that particular experience.

During this month of Easter, we remember particularly precious scars. Scars that delivered us from condemnation and paid for our eternal salvation. Scars that offer life, hope, love and healing✝️

Thank you Jesus for your scars. 🙏

Verse of the month..
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Upcoming speakers:

👉Sunday April 5th 11am - Speaker - Andrew Chapman (Morning Service only)
👉 Sunday April 12th 11am - Speaker - Ian Dobbie (Morning Service only)

God bless you and we look forward to seeing you then.

Greetings from Christ Church!

Easter -daffodils

Located on McDermott road, we are 5-10 minutes walk from Peckham Rye Train Station, or 10 mins walk from the Nigel Road bus stop on Peckham Rye ( Buses 343, 12 etc).

Our Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome from our greeters and our service begins at 11am with an invitation to join in thanksgiving and praise to God.

The church is made up of people from all walks of life who have a common belief in Jesus and His love for each one of us. We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.

You may be interested to know that Christ Church McDermott was the site of the first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church (watch re-enactment here), and has featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

Our worship is a comfortable mix of contemporary songs as well as familiar well loved hymns, and we encourage young and old to join together in song.

We look forward to a time of refreshing and encouragement as we put time aside to spend with God and with each other.
