Hot Topic Powerpoint Final Opt


Throughout September, we will all be gathering at 10am for one big morning service each Sunday. Every September, we run our “Hot Topics” series, in which we tackle a variety of difficult and challenging subjects head on. Often, churches avoid doing this, because as we say at EBC “opinions vary” about them and the subjects can be divisive. However, as we also say a lot around here, “engagement is not endorsement” and we think it is better to talk about things carefully and graciously than to ignore them.

This year, we have invited some guest speakers, and we will be covering topics relating to healthy masculinity, black/African church culture, church accessibility and domestic abuse…
 
Sunday 1st September: ‘Love Should Not Hurt’ – 10.00am (live-streamed)
This Sunday Philippa speaks to us about radical love, incorporating part of our commitment to becoming a ‘Restored: Beacon’ church, providing a safe refuge for women and children who are survivors, journeying with them on their road to recovery, and demonstrating God’s deep love for them.

Sunday 8th September August: ‘Me, Myself and I’ – 10.00am (live-streamed).
This Sunday we have a guest speaker, Pastor Philip Lutterodt, from Mitcham Baptist Church. Having met Philip at Regent’s Park College, Simon felt powerfully compelled to ask Philip, who is originally from Ghana, to come and speak to EBC about the upsides and downsides of what might be called Black/African church culture. You’re in for an interesting and really thought-provoking morning! After the service, we will be having a meal together in the church building.
 
Sunday 15th September: ‘XCC: Xtreme Character Challenge” – 10.00am (live-streamed).
Are you ready for an adventure? Last Spring, Simon went on the XCC, a three day hiking and camping expedition for men only up in Scotland, where he met one of the most dynamic and charismatic people he has ever met. And now… you can get to meet him too! James Ray is the leader of XCC and he is coming to challenge men to live a life of Christian masculinity – not the toxic variety, but the kind that takes the real challenges – and responsibilities – of being a man very seriously… You can find out more about James and XCC here and if you’re brave enough, you can sign up for the next one in Wales (Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th October) right here! After the service, we will be having a BBQ outside in the garden – come ready for it!

Sunday 22nd September: ‘Accessible Church?’ – 10.00am All-sorts service (No Livestream)
Join us for our All-sorts service as we all get together around tables to talk about how easy it is to come to church… or is it? Simon leads the conversation on what it might be like to come to church when your physical, mental or emotional experiences have been different to our own…

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?
We run two Sunday morning services which start at 9:30am and 11:00am.
On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

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 11:00am 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.
