WHAT’S

ON?Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr 2013

to live a life of meaning for themselves. Perhaps most importantly for us we have ‘lost’ the very relationship we were designed to have - our relationship with our heavenly Father.

It was Jesus Himself who declared that He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). To find those who were far away from God and restore that relationship. To be the bridge between humanity and God. To show people what God the Father is really like - not harsh and judgemental but loving and compassionate. To make a way possible for people to find their way back to knowing God, to bring the lost home.

There is nothing quite so wonderful as finding something precious, something of great value. Perhaps the find is all the sweeter when the item has been lost to us, when we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we looked and then suddenly it was there. Jesus asks those who have found the wonderful truth of knowing Him, not just to be grateful about the amazing transformation in their own lives but to go back out and help others find their way back.

It is only when we search thatwe truly find.

Roy & Keely MorleySenior Pastors

Have you ever lost something that really mattered? Maybe it was your car keys, or your purse or wallet? Maybe it was your phone! Once you realise something is lost usually you retrace your steps, you go through every room in the house and yet you still can’t find it. There is nothing more frustrating than losing something valuable.

The Bible tells us that Jesus came ‘to seek and to save that which was lost’. He wasn’t talking about iphones or money, He was talking about people, human beings. It can be incredibly frightening to be lost, to not know our bearings, to not know the direction we are heading, to suddenly find ourselves in unfamiliar territory.

Yet when we are not in relationship with God the Bible describes us as ‘lost’. We have ‘lost’ the true understanding of who we are, who we were created to

be. We have ‘lost’ our purpose and go through life simply existing and not really living. Many have ‘lost’ their self worth and sense of value, always living to please everyone else but never really knowing how

“Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost"

2 Sunday morning seriesVision Series

Life’s Big Questions Series

We start 2013 with our vision series. Without vision the church will be aimless, purposeless and unproductive. Do you understand vision? Do you know the vision God has given us as a church? Make sure you come to this four week series in January starting Sunday 6th.

Why is there suffering in the world? Are we created or did we evolve? Is there really a God? These are all questions people in our society ask regularly and we are putting on this series for you to invite your work mates, neighbours and colleagues to hear the answers. This series will be starting on Sunday 24th February which is the week after Dez Brown will be visiting. Dez will be powerfully sharing how he came to know Jesus whilst he was in prison, then the following Sunday this series on Life’s Big Questions will begin. Let’s really invite others.

LIFEIS WORTHEXPLORINGWhat is the point of life?Why do people suffer?

PRAY

In the busyness of life it is important that we start the year right. We have set aside a week right at the beginning of 2013 to seek God together, to pray for our community and our nation and its many needs, to pray for our church in both locations, for growth, maturity, function and to pray for the needs of people we know and love.

From Monday 6th to Friday 10th January the church will be open for you to join us in praying together. If you can fast then please do so. There will be three sessions throughout each day:

6:00am-7:00am morning12:30-1:30pm lunchtime7:30-9:00pm evening

Let’s prioritise what matters most - praying for our country, our town and our people.

Don’t forget throughout the year we also have prayer every Friday 7:30pm until 9:30pm in the conference room upstairs.

All across our nation there are young men without hope and without proper role models. Many end up in young offenders prisons. We run a Christian mentoring programme within Rochester’s Young Offenders’ unit which runs on 2 levels:-

Level 1 - we bring Christians into the prisons to mentor the lads on a Monday evening (fortnightly).

Level 2 - we continue mentoring when they leave prison. Do you want to get involved? Please email the church or call the office.

We are actively involved in the Street Pastors programme within our town. Street Pastors engage with people on the streets to care, listen and talk. Our teams in Dartford operate on Friday and Saturday evenings in the town centre.

If you would like to get involved you will need a recommendation from your Pastors. Training is then provided. You will need a firm faith in Jesus, the ability to connect with people from all walks of life and be able to help and listen. Email John Atkins who has more information.
