Snow Fun!

Did you enjoy or just endure the heavy snowfall this past weekend? I imagine some of you were understandably nervous at the idea of venturing out in all of that white slippy stuff, while others couldn’t wait to get out there for snowball fights, sledging and building snowmen!

I was sent this lovely picture from two EBC friends, Eric and Margaret, who shared this topsy-turvy snowman built by some of the younger members of their family. Isn’t it amazing?!?

My wife Claire and I also ventured out for a walk, and whilst we didn’t build a snowman we did dare to test our balance a little bit –

I am reminded yet again of the glories of God’s creation! We can make snowballs, but He can make snow! We can make snowpeople but He can make actual flesh-and-blood people! And we might even be able to carry each other sometimes (to be fair, Claire’s mostly been “carrying” me for the last 27 years!) but God can always carry us – if we’ll trust Him.

He can certainly carry us through this difficult season of Covid and lockdowns, when maybe we all feel a bit upside-down, like that snowman. He is the all-powerful Creator of the universe, and He loves us. May you enjoy the beauty of creation today and everyday, in whatever form you discover it, which you surely will if you just take the time to look and to notice.

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

Planning your Visit

I am New

Welcome from all of us at Easthampstead Baptist Church!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. As you explore our website, we hope that you catch a broader glimpse of what EBC is all about. It's about people - people just like you - who want to embark on a journey to discover more of God and his will for our lives.

What should I expect on a Sunday Morning?

Sometimes going to a church for the first time can be a little daunting. I promise we won't bite! To help ease any uncertainties below are the answers to some common questions people have before attending a Sunday morning.

What do I have to wear?

We are a 'come as you are' sort of people and have no formal dress-code for our Sunday services.
We can assure you that we don't have bouncers on the door vetting your attire!
If you are still not sure, feel free to check out our services on YouTube to have an idea.

What time do I need to be there?
At the moment we have one Sunday morning service which starts at 10.00am.

On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

Services

We would recommend you turn up 10 minutes before the service starts so you have a chance to say hi!
If you have children that need signing in to the children and youth work, they need to be signed in from 9:50am.

Parking

There is plenty of parking both out the front and at the back of the building. Just follow the signs!

How safe is my child in your care?

We run separate children and youth work during our 10:00am service, which is run by a group of volunteers who have all been DBS checked.

Children ages 11 and under must be signed in and out by their parent/carer. The youth can sign themselves in and out.
