To Everything there is a season..

Remember Lockdown? 🤔How long ago that seems! Yet when we were enduring the tedium of masks and social distancing 😷, gritting our teeth through home schooling, and waiting desperately for a breakthrough in vaccines, that season seemed never ending!!! And yet.. end it did. 🙌

It so happens, that around that same time, a particularly wonderful couple joined our church 😇. Fitting right in, they endeared themselves to our hearts by encouraging us with their warmth, energy, prayers, practical support and various contributions to church life.
We assumed they'd be there for many years, and yet, unexpectedly, these dear friends will soon be moving away!!🏖️🥹
While we shall no doubt see them from time to time, we acknowledge that a wonderful season with them has drawn to a close. ❤️

As I reflected on their time with us, I recalled the chapter in Ecclesiastes about seasons.

Sometimes in the good seasons 🌞 , we may take situations or people for granted. Family, health, finances or even normal church activities are expected to "proceed as usual" - and we often times forget to voice appreciation to others, or to thank God for "small" daily blessings.

Likewise, in the tough seasons 🥶, it's hard to keep your eyes fixed on the hope of victory, whilst battling day to day challenges.

But to everything there is a season.
So, dear reader, if you are in a difficult season, remember where your help comes from, and press on.

It is only for a while. Your time to heal, laugh, rebuild or have peace will come.

If you are enjoying a time of peace, give thanks to God - and keep in mind others who may still be in the queue.

Verses of the month: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything and a season for very activity under the heavens..

Upcoming speakers:

👉 Sunday 15th June - 11am Morning Service - Speaker - Jeremy Bishop

👉 Sunday 15th June - 530pm Evening Service - Speaker - Jeremy Bishop

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

A Warm Hello 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 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.

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 recently featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.
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.

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.
