God Central Church - Update 9th September

We are incredibly grateful to God as our first Sunday went well and it was great to worship Jesus in the centre of our town with both friends and new faces alike. It was also fabulous to be able to involve the children in the service and for them to have their own room.

This week we’ve been advertising in the local paper and our prayer is that God joins many more people to us for His glory.
We have specific needs both in terms of children’s workers and parts of our worship team which we’re trusting Him for as we seek to build a significant church here in Harlow, Essex.

Please do keep praying for wisdom and protection for us all as we are at both an exciting but also vulnerable stage in our adventure at present.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good weekend

Update 31st August 2011....

Morning and hope you’ve had a good Bank Holiday.


Whilst much of the news is today focused on the last minute football transfers we feel they’ve missed the bigger news that this Sunday is God Central’s first Sunday morning, 10.30am, meeting and for the first time there’s a room for children as well!

As such if your around and want to pop along know you’d be more than welcome and rumours are circulating of lunch at Pizza Hut afterwards too..

We’d greatly value your prayers as there’s a tremendous amount to pull together and we really are taking a huge step of faith.

Also next week we’re advertising in the Harlow Star again and so would appreciate your prayers that God highlights this to people and that we continue to gather, grow and go with the good news of Jesus.

As always thanks for reading, praying and supporting us. We pray you are blessed by our heavenly father.

Newfrontiers God Central Church Harlow - Update 1st August

Newfrontiers God Central Church – Harlow. Update 1st August

Well summer is upon us and we’re enjoying gearing up for Sunday mornings with effect from the 4th September.

Plans are going well and we’ve also seen an upturn in new enquiries from both people who have been away from church for a while as well as new Christians moving to Harlow. If you are reading this and in or know someone in either of those categories then please send us a message from the ‘contact us’ part of the website as we’d really like to hear from you.

We’re also hosting a ‘come and meet us’ evening at the Harlow Playhouse at 6pm on Sunday 14th August where people who have been following us for a while or have just heard about us can come along and hear a bit of our story so far and also our dreams for the future. We’re advertising the evening in the Harlow Star newspaper so if you’d like to come and support us or send someone along that would be brilliant and there will be cakes and drinks to whet your appetite still further!

Another date for your diaries is the 17th September when our friends at Community Church Bishop’s Stortford are hosting a worship conference. All info and booking details are on their website http://www.thecommunitychurch.org.uk/worship

As always thanks for reading this and supporting us as we seek to make Jesus more famous in Harlow.

Have a great summer and we’ll give you a further update after our ‘come and meet us’ evening on the 14th August.

Newfrontiers God Central Church - Harlow Update 8th July

We hope this finds you well and thanks for reading and supporting us on our mission of making Jesus better known in Harlow.

Since we last wrote we’re pleased to announce that from September we’ll be meeting every Sunday morning at 10.30am at the Harlow Playhouse.

Even better they have kindly agreed that we can use 2 rooms downstairs and so we’re excited about helping the babies and children have their own space as well as the opportunity to improve our welcome and profile.

God has been so good to us we are very grateful and amazed at what He has done and is doing! He really is building His church!

In addition we’ve also been in contact with several new people in Harlow which is again really exciting as God has spoken to us about gathering more people as we move into the next season and He is already going before us and linking us with new people in Harlow!

If you are reading this and new to Harlow, know someone who is, or who lives here and isn’t part of an existing church, please send us an e-mail to info@harlowchurchplant.org or give us a call/text on 07722 969088 as we’d really like to connect with more people in our town.

Please could we ask you pray for wisdom, protection and guidance for us as a church and also for healing and jobs for some of the people in the church.

Have a good day and thanks again for reading this

Newfrontiers God Central Church Update 10th June

Well it’s raining here in Harlow today but that hasn’t dampened our spirits.

It’s great to be able to share that our friends Colin & Eunice exchanged contracts on their house Tuesday just gone. Exciting times ahead for them but please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as there’s still lots to be done before and on move day which is the 28th June.

In addition we’ve been busy planning out our next steps for July, August and September and will be sharing them at the Playhouse this coming Sunday at 4.30pm so if you’d like to know more then please feel free to come along – it’s always really encouraging when we have new faces so please consider coming. If your reading this and can’t make Sunday but want to know more, or know someone who wants to know more, then please drop us an e-mail at info@harlowchurchplant.org or watch the website www.Godcentralchurch.org as things will make there way there shortly.

Please can we ask you to pray for us as we’re undergoing lots of change again which is both exciting but also hard work! In addition please could you pray for key people to be brought along by God to join us on our adventure as there are still many roles to be filled as we seek to build a grace-filled church, empowered by the Spirit, shaped by the Word with a passion to see Jesus glorified in Harlow and to the ends of the earth.

Thanks as always for reading and we pray you will be blessed and know Jesus better.

God Central Church Harlow Update 24th May 2011

Well time has been going very quickly for us as we’ve been busy trying to establish God Central Church.

Since we last wrote in early May we’ve had some interesting events occur. We were unable to use the Playhouse for one of our meetings and so had to re-camp back to our back garden where we did church on picnic rugs and patio chairs! I often wondered how people such as Whitfield and Wesley preached to thousands in the open air and am still of the opinion God must have given them powerful lungs! That said God was good to us and we had a great afternoon.

We’ve also been blessed with further enquiries from people new to Harlow and those around the town who are considering joining us on our adventure. Please can you join us in praying this happens and also that we come into contact with more and more people in our town who will join us for the long term as we’re at an exciting yet critical time of trying to grow through 40 adults at present.

We’d also appreciate your prayers for protection for us as several of us are suffering with ill health and other major bits of life, so we’re really trusting Jesus to break through in several situations.

Finally if your free and could come and support us this coming Sunday from 4pm at the Harlow Playhouse as always you’d be extremely welcome!

Keep smiling and thanks for reading and praying

Newfrontiers God Central Church Harlow - Update 6th May

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. It’s been a busy time in God Central church as we’ve been transitioning from 2 to 3 life groups as well as taking a fresh look at how we do things.

We’ve also been busy leafleting new areas of Harlow, working on fine tweaking our website (www.Godcentralchurch.org) as well as going to weekly ‘us together’ meetings based at either the Harlow Study Centre or the Harlow Playhouse. (A full list of all our meeting dates can be found on our website.)

If you’re reading this and new to Harlow why not pop along to one of our meetings, details are on the website or you can e-mail us from there if you fancy a coffee and chat first.

Prayer requests would be for more of the presence of God, His favour to gather more people and see lives transformed by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. In particular we are praying for men, families and musicians to help us in the next stage of establishing a significant church for the display of Jesus’ glory so if you or someone you know fits these categories please get in touch and lets have a coffee.

Thanks for reading and have a great day
Ben, Clare and everyone at God Central church
