Hello again and hope you’ve had a good week. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement for our Regional Announcement last Sunday which was well received. As a result our website has been busier but still needs lots of visits to climb above primarily estate agents whom Google finds when searching ‘Harlow Church’ due to them selling properties in Church Langley Harlow!
On a personal note been a good week as our extension has started and seems to be flying up and on a Harlow Group front also been a good week – we were in double figures again last night and felt God was really with us as we continued to look at what makes us ‘Harlow Group’ Full details on our website www.harlowchurchplant.org
We’d still appreciate prayers for health and jobs as these two obstacles never seem to be far away from us as a group though through it all God has been good.
In addition please can you pray that we are able to connect with new people in our town who aren’t in an existing church in the town but whom God can use to help us establish a significant church which extends His kingdom.
After seeing new people along for the past 2 weeks now we’re really excited about what God is doing especially as we approach Easter when we remember Jesus’ death and resurrection. We hope to be able to connect with new people at this key time!
Have a great week and thanks for your continued support and taking the time to read this update
Keep smiling

Weekly Update on Harlow Church Plant 19th March
Hello and another week has passed and we hope it has been a good one for you all. We’ve had a good week too as we seek to see a significant church established in Harlow as plans have been coming together for this Sunday’s Regional Celebration and we also had Colin & Eunice Potter join us last night to share their wisdom, thoughts and strategies with us from the two extremely successful church plants they have done in Plumstead and Enfield.
We are very grateful as Colin & Eunice shared many things which have provoked me and other members of the group and I’m sure will be fruitful in giving us direction in the next phase or our journey. Speaking of which next Thursday will be the first of 4 Harlow Group sessions looking at what we want to value. We are expecting The Holy Spirit to be with us and for some great revelation – see the website ‘News’ section for more details.
We’d really appreciate your prayers for the 3 minute slot we have at Sundays Regional celebration as although not long we have lots to communicate and help to request, as getting people to log onto our website thus making it better rated by the search engines such as Google is one of our current aims – with that in mind could you maybe go there after reading the remainder of this update? www.harlowchurchplant.org
Otherwise we’d appreciate prayers for health of key members of our group and also employment as we are still struggling on that front.
Also for new people to join the plant, we sense that we are ready for some new warriors to join us, people who are prepared to join us in our Churchillian blood, sweat, toil and tears battle and so are seeking God with expectation to have more of Harlow’s mighty men & women added to us.
Have a great week and we’ll be back next week with an update from the regional celebration plus an overview of how our first evening of putting in the foundations has gone.

Weekly Update 12th March
Once again good afternoon on a Friday and we hope you have a good weekend planned. Thank you one and all for your continued support it is very much valued!
This week has seen our website, www.harlowchurchplant.org, go fully live on the various search engines and we have already had one family in Harlow contact us via it which is really exciting! We are praying that this is just the start of things to come!
We have also taken delivery today of our first set of postcard flyers and I even had time to drop a few off whilst up the town centre earlier between coffee appointments. Your continued prayers for fruit from our publicity would be excellent at the moment as we are seeking to meet fresh people in our town, Harlow.
Last night we met as a group and it was nice to have 2 new faces with us whom we hope were blessed and will consider joining us on our mission to make Jesus better known in Harlow. We looked at what God has called us to be and were really challenged by the following passage from Isaiah 61
'The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favour'
We believe that this is what God has called us to be and also discussed the reality that this isn’t going to be an easy achievement and is one we are going to have to make sacrifices for and persevere in the fight to see come to be. We really do feel God’s favour with us at the moment and yet are still in the midst of several individual battles so your continued prayers for protection and employment are vital to the life of our church plant.
Lastly your prayers for us as we prepare to share very briefly about Harlow at next Sunday’s regional celebration would be welcome.
Thanks for reading and please do keep passing our web address to anyone you know in Harlow as people can make contact by filling in the form on it.
Have a great week and we’ll give you another update next week

The past week saw us visit
We have been busy working on getting some flyers printed and we should be in a position to distribute a few of these next week once they return from the printers as well as purchasing a surprise gift for everyone who will be at the forthcoming regional event on 21st March!
Please pray for fruit from these ventures as we are determined to build a significant large local church for Jesus’ glory and so meeting people is key for us. Google are working on our website to ensure it is listed for search engines to find so hopefully that will be another method by which some of the 90,000 people of
We would still appreciate prayers for health and jobs as James still hasn’t been able to move to
