Update 17th September 2010

Another 2 weeks has flown past and autumn seems to be approaching very quickly in Essex.

Our transition period is almost over and we’re into a new phase of bi-weekly meetings together and then smaller ‘doing life groups’ the other week. Everyone involved has been fantastic and it’s been great to be part of and around people who put the extension of God’s kingdom before their own desires and wants.

We are still in urgent need of a meeting room to accommodate around 25+ people in the centre of Harlow on Thursday evenings for our ‘US Together’ meetings. Please could you pray about this as it is proving to be a major obstacle.

We are now geared we feel to accommodate further growth. Please pray that more people who are new to Harlow, not linked to existing churches there or simply exploring the Christian faith find out about us and make contact with us as we are still eagerly expecting numerical growth amongst other things. If you know of anyone please direct them to our website www.harlowchurchplant.org where our current program is available as well as a ‘contact us’ page.

Continued prayer for health and protection over us as a group would also be appreciated, as we seem to have encountered more opposition again recently.

As always thanks for your continued support wherever you are
God Bless and keep smiling
Ben & Clare

Facebook Update 27 - 5th September

Well time seems to be flying at present. Since we last wrote we’ve spent time with the Newfrontiers Churches in our region at Shuttleworth where it was fantastic to be amongst many friends from all over the place as well as worship and learn about our great God.

In Harlow we’re in the middle of our transition to two groups and are actively seeking a venue to use on Thursday evenings where we can all fit once or twice a month so as to retain relationships right across the group.
In addition we’re still getting to know some of the new people who have come along during the summer so food and drink is definitely part of our agenda at the moment!

Prayer requests would be for wisdom and humility to make the transition to two groups as smoothly as possible plus God’s favour and direction in finding a suitable venue too use on Thursday evenings once or twice a month.

In addition please keep praying for more of God’s presence with us and for more new people moving to Harlow to find out about us and join us in our adventure of making Jesus better known.

Thanks for reading and we pray God will bless you
Keep smiling
