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

Keep smiling

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

Newfrontiers God Central Church - Harlow. Update 1st April


Update 1St April

Firstly this isn’t an April fools message so please read on as we’d like to keep you informed of what’s been happening in the Life of God Central Church and would really value your prayers.

The last couple of weeks have been fairly tough as we seem to have encountered lots of illness within the church and a few people have also had tough personnel circumstances to cope with.

We’d really appreciate your prayers in light of this for healing and the power of God to breakthrough several circumstances.

We’d also appreciate prayer for staying on course on the mission we’re on of glorifying Jesus in Harlow and building big people for him. We’re very much in a transition at present looking towards weekly gatherings from Easter onwards building towards weekly Sundays before too much longer.
That means finding a new rhythm of doing things and we want this to be God’s rhythm for us not one we make up!

In particular we feel God has been speaking to us about 3 M’s to aide us on our mission.
Men & families
Musicians
Mature Christians
If you could join us in praying for these we’d be very grateful.

Thanks as always for reading and please see our website www.Godcentralchurch.org for more information including details of our Easter Celebration which will include the dedication of Truth & Amelia!

Keep smiling
Ben, Clare, Amelia and everyone @ God Central Church

Newfrontiers God Central Church - Harlow Update 18th March


Another couple of weeks have flown by and they’ve been busy for us here in Harlow. We’ve seen God answer prayers for both healing and the sale of our friends house in Braintree, plus gathered more people to God Central church!

We’re all excited about next Sunday, 27th March, as we’re back at Harlow Playhouse for another 4pm gathering and expecting great things of our God. If your around and want to pop along it would be really great to see lots of you.

We really feel an urgency to keep reaching out to people in Harlow so as always please if you are reading this and new to the town or know someone in Harlow who isn’t connected to an existing church then please get them to make contact via our website www.Godcentralchurch.org
Prayer points would be jobs and work for people within the church. Healing for some of us (including our daughter Amelia who’s still suffering with a nasty virus), and the continued favour and presence of God.

As an aside we’ve just downloaded the new Passion worship album ‘Here for you’ and would thoroughly recommend it!

Thanks as always for reading
