Readings:

Exodus chapter 20 verse 12

"Honour your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God has given you."

Leviticus chapter 20 verse 9

“Anyone who curses their mother and father shall be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.”

Prayer & Reflection

Lord, I thank you that You are the Father God. I thank you that You are the best example of parenthood anywhere out there.
I pray that as we slowly discover and unveil more dynamics with our parents, in whatever form that may be, I pray we put respect and honour in the heart of that - even if that respect means putting a distance between each other, because that's what's best for us.
Thank you that You are there in the midst of any relationship we have: to comfort us, to love us, to care for us as our true Father in Heaven.

AMEN

Questions to Consider

1. What is your relationship like with your parents?
2. Are there things going on between you and your parents that need to be resolved?
3.What things do you need to engage with more, or distance yourself from in your relationship with your parents?
4. How can you honour your parents in the coming week?
5. What does God as your Father mean to you?

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 10:50am.

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.
